Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott’s definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as 21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants – and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.
Special Edition includes the 4K Ultra HD Final Cut, four finished versions of the film (including the Original Theatrical Cut, International Theatrical Cut and Director’s Cut), the Workprint Feature Version, Documentary Dangerous Days and an exclusive art book with behind-the-scenes photos, production art, sketches and storyboards.

That’s more like it. Way better than the Steelbook.
Same as my European steelbook though, far better than the U.K. Version
Sorry but Zavvi are taking the …. with their 4K prices
That’s a 4 disc box set, and they’re £5 cheaper than HMV and £10 cheaper than Amazon.
How are they taking the piss?
Stand corrected. so many versions getting released I had seen the special edition at £39.99 without realising what it was. ?
Haha yeah this one is pretty loaded. I’ve got mine ordered. That said if HMV or Amazon go cheaper I’ll be switching ?
Looks like HMV have topped Zavvi on price after all!
Well spotted! Took them long enough! I imagine there’ll be some competition on price before release. It’ll be interesting to see what Amazon drops to
should have used the original full art not a crop
