From br-movie.com:

The Blade Runner Final Cut Two-Disc Special Edition will contain:
Two Standard definition widescreen DVDs.

Disc One:
RIDLEY SCOTT'S ALL-NEW "FINAL CUT" VERSION OF THE FILM
Restored and remastered with added and extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio.

Also includes:

- Commentary by Ridley Scott
- Commentary by executive producer/co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher and co-screenwriter David Peoples; producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber
- Commentary by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer

Disc Two:
DOCUMENTARY DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER
A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history."


The Blade Runner Final Cut Four-Disc Collector's Edition will contain:
Four Standard definition widescreen DVDs.

From Warner: "The Four-Disc Collector's Edition includes everything from the 2-Disc Special Edition plus three additional versions of the film, as well as an 'Enhancement Archive' bonus disc of enhanced content that includes 90 minutes of deleted footage and rare or never-before-seen items in featurettes and galleries that cover the film's amazing history, production teams, special effects, impact on society, promotional trailers, TV spots, and much more.

Disc Three:
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.

1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.

1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.

Disc Four:
BONUS DISC - "Enhancement Archive": 90 minutes of deleted footage and rare or never-before-seen items in featurettes and galleries that cover the film's amazing history, production teams, special effects, impact on society, promotional trailers, TV spots, and much more.

The Blade Runner Final Cut Five-Disc Complete Collector's Editions will contain:
Five high definition widescreen DVDs in choice of HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.

The Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition includes everything from the Four-Disc Collector's Edition plus...

Disc Five:
WORKPRINT VERSION
This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more.

Also includes:

- Commentary by Paul M. Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner
- Featurette All Our Variant Futures: From Workprint to Final Cut"

But which 5-disc version to go for, US R1 or UK R2? I know the US one has a briefcase case, but are there any content differences between the releases? often one release gets extra bits the other doesn't

Just picked this up from Best Buy. Where I'm at, they had a 2 disc edition, a 4 disc edition, and the edition with the briefcase. I just went ahead and bought the one with the briefcase considering this is one of my fave films........

From our Retro Assistant:

(The R2 5 disc S.E. is) "Missing the "briefcase" design and some other trinkets present in the USA version, but is cheaper..."

Hope that helps! [Smile]

Already here on both hi-def formats! See the Retro Assistant for complete specs, but I think the USA versions may be slightly better -big shock there! [Wink]

I liked the 5 disc briefcase version I bought. It was worth every penny. My cousin bought the 4 disc edition. The only difference I can tell between mine and his is there's a word print version of the movie on mine and not on his.....
