My guide says its the 'Directors cut 2007'

According to El Beeb, it's

The 2007 final cut of Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic.

Yes, get in.

Reshot the replicant getting shot running thru the glass windows with the original actress , its seamless too

And much more detail is visible on the cleaned up print

FILM: Blade Runner
On: BBC 4 (9)
Date: Thursday 26th September 2013 (starting in 1 hour and 25 minutes)
Time: 22:00 to 23:50 (1 hour and 50 minutes long)

Film noir meets science fiction [b]in the 2007 final cut[/b] of Ridley Scott's visually stunning and brutal sci-fi classic. An ex-cop sets out on the trail of androids who have mutinied in a bid to extend their limited lifespan and fled back to a ravaged Earth, long since abandoned by most of humanity. The penalty for their rebellion is death, but the replicants have the advantage of being near-perfect copies of humans with superior intelligence.
(Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles, 1982, 15, 5 Star)

Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Joseph Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah

On screen Virgin guide showing 1982?

It's too bad she won't live... but then again who does?

if you're going to introduce her to 80s films, you could at least pick a good one!
:clip clops back under his bridge:

Just informed the wife she will be watching bladerunner, should have seen thd look i got back.

Na, Breakfast Club 😉

The original cinematic release had a voice over by Harrison Ford. I preferred that version to the director cut. What would I know right? That version is not available any more as liar as I can tell.

Not true, see! 😉

*whispers* overrated.

*runs and hides*

Nobody puts Brakes in the corner...

I've got a box set with 3 different versions including+/- the voiceover 🙂

Oh good shout out, my folks are away on holiday so i'm gonna head over to theirs and watch it on the 50" tv wi KRK surround sound and subwoofer turned up till the plaster falls from the ceiling....one of my fav films!

If only I didn't have 2 small children asleep upstairs (could put the surround sound on) a job and still smoked weed tonight would be ace

Ha reading a newspaper, how quaint.

I like the way he gets out the flying car to make a telephone call

I want to see a negative, before I provide you with a positive...

PS this works much better through BIG speakers!

Made in time wi 2 minutes to spare 😀 , big comfy sofa, dark room, large auchentoshan and slab o' fruit cake next to me, deep rumble from the opening credits/sub that i can feel through the floor and sofa - the only thing that is possibly absent is a mushie brew but seeing as it's not quite "season" i'll forgive myself that anomaly.

I haven't watched a film in months so looking forward to this one 😀

So.... its set 6 years from now. That means we've got 6 years to get from 'Unexpected item in bagging area' to sexy sentient robots that want to kick your face off.

Why oh why couldn't they put this on tomorrow night. I'll be round a mates with beer and schmokage. It could have been so good.

Brakes, go and sit in the corner and have a word with yourself.

No way I can watch the whole film. I have to be up at 5. Hope it's on iplayer.

Bet it's St Elmos fire or Flashdance or, heaven forbid, Dirty Dancing - Nobody puts Brakes in the corner...

"yes ma'am, the data on the best 80s film is inaccurate"
"how's that lieutenant"
"well, I just happened to see a film that was far better"
"where did you see it?"
"that's classified"
"what?"
"it's classified, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you"

Ooooo, i forgot just how scary Rutgar is,,,"if only i could see with your eyes".....gulp,,,,,,,this ain't gonna end well.

Onto 2nd Auchentoshan and 2nd slab of cake now, good shout evilclosetmonkey.

Never seen it before so thought I'd give it a go. Might go to bed in a minute.

Do you actually have a beating heart?, are you aware of who Philip K Dick was and this films influence on the current film noir genre?, admittingly that was mostly due to Ridley Scott and his dystopian interpretation of Philip K Dicks original novel but that aside this is so much a current film of the way our society is headed.

It certainly bears up well over 30 years on from it's release.

I was just looking for a new waterproof cycling top.

Wow...it's a good 10 years since i last saw the film and it didn't disappoint, as relevant today as when dick wrote the future - I'm left feeling slightly uneasy to our direction as a society, we seem to have set ourselves on a one way course to self consumption with our wanton fascination to continually consume and need to rely on continual growth to survive as a species but how?, if possible at all can we shirk this need we have established....Hmm - perhaps just too much whisky and brain activity as i don't really drink these days.........i may take the bike on the long way home by the riverbank to clear my head.

just realised Rutger hauers character has the same name as my dad Roy Batty, how cool is that 🙂

If you like Rutger Hauer and 80s films try The Hitcher .

One of my favourite films, much prefer the original with the narration. The later ones make it very obvious that Deckard is a SPOILER ALERT.

Watched it for the first time last night. Wasn't awful,but it was very ordinary. Don't believe the hype.

Let me guess.... You loved Bridget jones Diary and you're 12.

Nope, in my 30s, despise romcom and most popular cinema. Enjoy interesting and thoughtful films from all eras, just thought bladerunner was pretty dull and unremarkable.

That's you're problem right there - you're trying to hard.

Despising a film because of it's genre or popularity is a pretentious affectation.
Admitting that we're all different and that art is subjective will make you a much happier person. 🙂

Yeah.. So there.. That's what I wanted to say..

I hate romcoms because they don't appeal to me. I don't like most stuff in the cinema not because it's popular, but because it's often dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, I don't think that's pretentious and some popular movies are good.

And I only offered an opinion on a film, didn't say I'm right and you're all wrong.

always thought like Alien the look and feel of the film wouldn't date, it would still be futuristic until we actually get hover cars and attack ships off the shoulder of orion. Fell over badly when he used the payphone 🙂

It makes more sense if you've read the book - but not much. If you're prepared to let that go though it's a good sequence of cinematic set pieces.

Used to be a fave when I was in my twenties. Watched it many times.
Find it a bit tedious now. Not the film's fault, just that my tastes have changed.

I can completely understand people coming to it for the first time being underwhelmed though.

PSA ish, if you missed it, it's on iPlayer until next Thursday

Scott used to commute from his home in Stockton to college in Hartlepool past the flarestacks and chimneys of ICI Billingham works. Apparently that's the inspiration for the opening scenes of urban dystopia.

One for we smoggies & monkey-hangers!

I think I would rate Total Recall and Predator ahead of Bladerunner I do remember enjoying it. Not sure if I'm quite ready to watch it again yet though.

I have trouble with that sometimes 😆

Now that is just hysterical

Whilst I'd agree BR is an excellent and thought-provoking film, with an undeniable legacy in terms of the influence it's had, I've always thought the action-sequences were poorly done and have dated very badly. I think it would have been a better, more cerebral, film with them kept to the bare minimum.

Whereas Predator has some of the finest action scenes ever filmed, from start to finish. And nothing else. As a result it is highly focussed. I'd rather watch that any day of the week tbh. Blade Runner I can happily leave years between viewings.

Exactly what Zilog said.

Total recall because it is actually hilarious, not because they tried to make it so.

Original Total Recall is like Citizen Kane compared to the later version.

But Bladerunner, every time.

It must be difficult coming to Blade Runner for the first time after having already seen so many films/TV programmes that it influenced.

Incredible film imo. Unfortunately, I'm not so sure Ridley Scott knows why it was so good, so I'm nervous of a sequel/remake/thing.

I thought it was left open if deckard was replicant or not and there was no definitive answer?

Memories...You're talking about memories!

Always loved the film, but I've found it more affecting as I get older. I look at old photos - a childhood scene, old girlfriends, whatever - and sometimes wonder if they are real. 😳

this thread just reminded me that i have the 30th anniversary edition bluray box set sat there at home that i need to get watched (5 different versions of the film, 10 hours of bonus features and a load of other good stuff)...
