What's New in Blade Runner - The Final Cut?

tripper700 writes "25 years since its original release, a definitive version of Ridley Scott's science fiction masterwork Blade Runner, Blade Runner: The Final Cut, has been released. So what exactly has changed? And is it worth all the fuss? SFFMedia describes each change in detail. Is it just a patch up job attempting to cash in on a cult film? Or like an oil painter retouching a masterpiece, or a novelist polishing prose, is Ridley Scott simply trying to perfect his original vision?"

    When "Tron - Final Cut" is released, it's gonna smash every box office record for the next 10 years. Just you wait.

      Lets establish a timeline for these movies:

      Theatrical Release > Extended Version > Uncut Version > Director's Cut > Aniversary Edition > Remastered Edition > Final Cut > Final Cut: Pro

      I hate films with more versions than the software used to edit them.

    The song 'More Human Than Human' on 'Astro Creep:2000' features the lines "I am the Nexus one/I want more life fucker I ain't done". Kinda ruins the reference, wouldn't you say?

    I wonder if Harrison was pissed because they switched all the ads to modern day products and in every scene he's cleaning his Nikes and drinking a Coke while waiting in line at McDonalds.
