If he's allowed a 2nd or third stab at the movie, he's probably doing things he couldn't have budgeted for, or didn't like about the theatrical release.

But isnt the final cut the super directors cut.

I prefer Disc 4. (I dunno what that is?)

Disc 4 is the Enhancement disc full of just extras. No movie there.

I enjoyed the final cut the most.

DutchBoy · 04-23-2008, 09:59 PM

Great thread -- my copy of 'Blade Runner' should get to me by the weekend, and I still have no idea which disc to watch first.

I enjoyed The Final Cut of "Blade Runner", but I'm more used to the original theatrical edition with the Harrison Ford narration and the "happy ending" sequence. I haven't watched the international or the workprint versions yet.

Have to say the final cut, never liked the narration and
the Joanna Cassidy glass scene (don't want to spoil it)
looks much better. Don't usually like it when they go back and
redo scenes but it works in this case.

I just can't wait till this weekend, going to be cool to finally see this movie in HD, I'll probably start with the Final Cut, then watch the other versions at a later date.

I'm thinking that I'll watch the original theatrical version first...then the final version just to see the leap in PQ and the leap in the director's vision.

Thnx to all who have commented here!
