Is this the greatest DVD release of all time?
Full specs of the new Blade Runner DVD's have found their way to DVD Times. This could well be the greatest DVD release of all time (it has a fucking 3 hour documentary on all aspects of the film). George Lucas, Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg... you all talk bullshit about what your going to release with your DVDs but you will never have the balls to release something like this...

It contains Deckard/Harrison Fords character narration and has Deckard and Rachels (Sean Young) happy ending escape scene. 1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992.
