Five “Blade Runner” versions

Come 12.18 you’ll have the option of paying between $55 and $70 dollars for the Blade Runner Five-Disc Ultimate Collectors’ Edition DVD set from Warner Home Video, and you’ll get no less than five versions of Ridley Scott‘s 1982 sci-fi noir. There’s something insane about a package like this. You don’t have to be a Blade Runner obsessive living in your parents’ basement to want to own one, but it would help.

The thing for us level-headed types to do, of course, is buy or rent a stand-alone of Scott’s all-new, restored and remastered “final cut” with added and extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio track…and forget the rest.
The five-movie set includes (a) Scott’s latest cut (what’s he going to do — improve it again in three or four years?), (b) the 1982 Ladd Co. cut — the truncated theatrical version with that awful Harrison Ford/Deckard narration and has a “happy ending” getaway scene, (c) the “international ” seen on U.S. home video, laser disc and cable releases up to 1992, (d) the 1992 Director’s Cut version sans narration, no “happy ending” finale plus the “unicorn” sequence that suggests Deckard may be a replicant, and (e) something called a “work print” version (altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the the end, no “unicorn” sequence, no “happy ending,” etc.). Plus a documentary called “Dangerous Days: Making of Blade Runner.”

  1. Pffft! Fifty bucks is what I’d pay for a moderately good wine in a restaurant, which I did in fact, last night, in Two If By Sea. We’re not all still struggling our way through college.

  2. What a lovely case. I think I’ll start carrying it to meetings. I hope the airports don’t have a problem with it.

  3. I’ll rent the new version but I have no reason to own it unless Scott has improved the pacing of the movie and given Deckard something to do besides lounge around watching TV. I find this movie curiously overrated except as a special effects and production design reel.
    Hey Ian Sinclair, you should tell us how expensive your steak was too.

  4. Tell me…I like the narration version, should I like the no-narration version? Is it better that way? I’ve only seen it once w/o narration. I guess I’m used to Ford’s voice. The case looks cool. My favorite line “…wake up. Time to die.” I think they should put it it out with and without the voiceover. Just that in the case.

  5. There was no fight scene with Daryl Hannah. He just ran at her and plucked her eye out. And it was stolen from Ringo Lam, anyway.

  6. I can’t watch the version without narration, without hearing the narration. So to me there IS no version without narration.
    Last night, Ian, I had sushi. Cold fish.

  7. “I can’t watch the version without narration, without hearing the narration. So to me there IS no version without narration.”
    I don’t think the idea of using narration was in itself a bad (the film was a sci-fi/noir hybrid after all), the problem for those of us who don’t like it is that Harrison Ford sounds like he’s half asleep and groggy while doing it.

  9. I’ve always preferred the theatrical cut, with the narration. The movie would’ve been confusing without it. The director’s cut all makes sense ’cause we’ve seen the theatrical version, and now we can be all sniffy about it. Guy should make one version of a movie and then move on, for better or worse. Who gives a damn about a work print version? It’s like publishing a novel that’s not proof read or something. These re-re-re-re-re-re-re-releases are just ways of ripping us off. I hear the new Kubrick box will be a $10,000 limitied edition where the first one million customers will get bone fragments from Kubrick’s body.

  11. I saw the theatrical version before I saw the director’s cut on VHS about ten years ago. I like both…but man oh man, that set is pretty damn enticing. I actually emailed my family members and said that’s all i want for Christmas. hopefully someone comes through. I am that geeky. And no Wells, I don’t live in my parents’ basement.

  13. I heard that the special boxed set of all the BACK TO THE FUTURE movies comes packaged in a real Delorean.

  14. the narration could have worked but doesn’t. it’s cold fish.
    “feelings. what the hell was hapening to me?”
    at least we’ll get to hear ford actually talk about the film.

  15. I saw the film for the first time a couple months ago (the director’s cut) and was tremendously disappointed. There’s some great visuals, but the whole film seemed a bit hollow and flimsy. Could that be why Scott has wasted time doing five versions of this film?

  16. Oh boy…I can’t get my paws on this fast enough. Maybe I’m just easily pleased though.
    Now if I had a firm release date for that Dark City SE…it would be a happy day indeed.

  18. Has anyone seen the trailer for the doc up on Yahoo? Towards the end of trailer, Ed Olmos asked the interviewer something like “Did you get Harrison?” And then craggy Ford shows up to say “It was a bitch.” I have to admit, I think it’s greatthat Ford decided to sit down and talk about the film. I don’t know what he can add that hasn’t already been said, and WB already has my $78 for this set cause I love the film, but it will be interesting to see what Ford has to recollect about making this film that he has always been down on and that is such a classic.
