Title: Blade.Runner.Final.Cut.DVDR.HQ (2007)

Description: n the years since Ridley Scott's Blade Runner first dazzled (and puzzled) audiences around the world back in 1982, a number of different versions of the film have appeared. There's been the theatrical cut, the international cut, the much sought-after "workprint" version, etc. It's only now however, some 25 years later, that we finally have the chance to see the film as its director intended.

It's easy to understate the impact that Blade Runner has had on the films that followed it, particularly in the genre of science fiction. Based on an eclectic and complex novel by Philip K. Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Blade Runner is as much a hard-boiled film noir detective story as it is science fiction. And yet on the latter score, the film's high-concept premise ranks it easily alongside such cinematic landmarks as Stanley Kubrick's 2001 and Forbidden Planet. All you need to do is watch almost ANY of the classic works of Japanese anime (Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor) and you'll see Blade Runner's influence in nearly every frame.
