The Final Cut is basically the version Ridley Scott originally intended to release. He didn't change much - remastered, 5.1 surround, removed all visible wires, etc. All the original effects are very much intact, just prettier.
About the biggest change was to Joanna Gleason's chase scene. He actually brought her back in and had her redo some of the face shots, then mapped it onto the original model's footage so that it wasn't obvious that they were using a stunt double. The result is quite amazing actually. In essence, the Final Cut is what the Director's Cut would have been had the producers given him more money :) Dave -----Original Message----- From: William Bowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 1:55 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Favorite geek-fantasy movie? > Have you seen Blade Runner: The Final Cut? I have not, but it is on my list for purchase now (rather than using up another rental). I confirmed last night that I really should own a copy. The Final Cut is different than the Directors Cut but only slightly, apparently, and it is digitally remastered, so that'll do nicely. so many versions... -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259136 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
