I have done some looking around and this is what is on the set (this is the
five disk set, not the brief case set).
Disc 1:
The Final Cut (2007) in 1080P
This looks and sounds great. Can't believe it is a 25 year old movie. I
was much more impressed with this disk than with the new Harry Potter, which
I also picked up this week. The lighting, shading and color looks great. I
just got my player, so I only have three titles - so far :(
Disc 2:
Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner - in Standard Definition
Detailed disk of...well the title speaks for itself.
Everything I did and didn't want to know about the movie. Looks SD.
Disc 3:
U.S Theatrical Cut (1982)
International Theatrical Cut (1982)
Director's Cut (1992)
All in 1080P and described as: All Seamlessly Branched and Separately
Available on On Disc with Introductions to Each by Ridley Scott.
I have jumped around on this disk, but very little. Looks good.
Disc 4:
Enhancement Archive - In Standard Definition
Inception
The Electric Dreamer: Remembering Philip K. Dick
Sacrificial Sheep: The Novel vs. the Film
Philip K. Dick: The Blade Runner Interviews
Fabrication
Signs of the Times: Graphic Design
Fashion Forward: Wardrobe & Styling
Screen Tests: Rachael and Pris
The Light That Burns: Remembering Jordan Cronenweth
Deleted & Alternate Scenes
Disc 4:

1982 Promotional Featurettes
On the Set
Convention Reel
Behind-the-Scenes Outtakes
Trailers
1981 Teaser Trail
1982 Theatrical Trailer

2007 Dangerous Days Teaser Trailer
2007 Final Cut Trailer
Promoting Dystopia: Rendering the Poster Art
Deck-a-Rep: The True Nature of Rick Deckard
Nexus Generation: Fans and Filmmakers
Disc 5:
Workprint - In 1080P
The first-ever home video release of the rarely seen pre-release Workprint,
featuring alternate
footage, music and voice-over.
Have not looked at this disc at all.
All Our Variant Futures - in Standard Definition
Featurette on Film's Multiple Versions and In-Depth Look at Creating The
Final Cut
I am pleased with the purchase, especially since it is 4 discs for the price
of many single disk BluRays.
