The film is notorious for having already been released twice in two different versions, though die-hard fans will tell you there are in fact four versions. Until now, that is; after several years of work, Scott is declaring the Blade Runner project complete, with the release of his "Final Cut". Critical opinion on this new edit has been divided, with some reviewers calling it "definitive", "stunning" and "jaw-dropping", others described the new cut as at best "unnecessary" and at worst, "plain cash in". You can read musicOMH's own opinion here. But maybe you'd like to decide for yourself?
The film is on release from this Friday, and will be released on DVD format on the 3rd of November in two formats: the "special edition" Final Cut itself, and also a massive 5-disc box-set which includes all five versions of the film, as well as documentaries and commentaries. musicOMH has four copies of the Special Edition and one copy of the box-set to give away to lucky readers of, well, this page.
