It happened yesterday. I was taking a walk in downtown Lancaster (for those familiar, this is a REALLY small town to walk around in), and I saw it outside the display window of HMV. It was beautiful and I had to get it. I went in and I got a hold of it at first. Price at £22 it didn’t look awfuly expensive either. I knew that I would probably find it at a better deal if I was patient enough to look around the internet and order it online. But my consumerism kicked in (which is rarely the case for me) and I couldn’t wait that long. I went to the cashier and I am now a happy owner of the Blade Runner: Final Cut: 5 DVD Ultimate Collectors Edition!
I did find it at a cheaper price in HMV website after all but what the hell, the ‘consumer’ inside me was worth the £7 difference for this chrismas gift to myself! 🙂 It is trully an amazing collection! Now all I have to do is find the time to rot myself to endless hours of Blade Runner scenery!!!!
Here’s what it contains (copied from HMV’s website):

- 1982 Theatrical Version – This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford’s character narration and the happy ending

- 1992 Director’s Cut – The Director’s Cut omits Deckard’s voiceover narration and removes the “happy ending” finale. It adds the famously-controversial “unicorn” sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.
