The five-disc set contains five versions of the film, not four like I previously said: original, international, director's cut, 'ultimate' cut, workprint cut. There should be a flatulant cut, with fart sounds added for some comic relief, because this movie takes itself way too seriously. I've already seen it at least six times, I'm embarrassed to say, and after watching it again a couple months ago on PBS (only because my girlfriend had never seen it) I realized every moment of it was burned into my memory and there was no reason to revisit it. Besides, that saxophone melody drives me up the wall. <BR/>C'mon, five versions? George Lucas must be behind this.stexehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878333751031091867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11699317.post-2392541801507767432007-10-11T13:50:00.000-04:002007-10-11T13:50:00.000-04:00There were moments when there was (or I imagined t...There were moments when there was (or I imagined there was) a plastic-like perfection to a moment, but I think that's being over critical.<BR/><BR/>I liked that Pris was a lot harder to take down and Deckard appeared to be more disturbed by what he is doing.Lance Ehlershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447042443661666932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11699317.post-812489805636108702007-10-11T13:24:00.000-04:002007-10-11T13:24:00.000-04:00Some of the re-work is too clean.

All the complaints & goofs have been addressed. All the kinks have been ironed out, the editing is smoother, the audio mix is tighter, the colors & contrast are ideal. It simply does not look like a film created 25 years ago. If that one word-- just that one word!-- was reinserted, this would be the perfect incarnation of the film in my opinion.Lance Ehlershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447042443661666932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11699317.post-44068064413358510662007-10-11T11:57:00.000-04:002007-10-11T11:57:00.000-04:00okay, so I saw the original theatrical run in 1982...okay, so I saw the original theatrical run in 1982. Then I was persuaded into buying the VHS tape in 1987 because it was the "international version, with footage not seen in theaters" (this amounted to a few seconds of screen time). Then I saw the 10th anniversary "director's cut" edition, which admittedly was a big improvement, mostly from what was omitted, instead of what was added. Now the "ultimate edition" is in theaters, but it doesn't end there. For the full experience, you can't live without the five-dvd set, in stores this holiday season, which includes the three existing versions along with a previously unreleased "workprint cut"! Does it come with a collectible action figure? Or a poster? Howabout a shiny foil box to hold all this fine merchandise? I'll buy anything if it's shiny. Please take my money, warner brothers, I never want to get off this hamster wheel of consumerism. <BR/>I jest. I'll probably end up seeing this version too. It's a brilliant premise with excellent production design, even if the dialogue is clunky and the characters are poorly defined. Or I might just wait for the 35th anniversary edition. More explosions.stexehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878333751031091867noreply@blogger.com
