Internet Movie Database is a great place to look up actors and folks from films and TV ...

Sean Young's listing is here - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000707/

notable was "No Way Out" a political thriller with Kevin Costner, and a bunch of lesser films.

She was a stunner in Blade Runner, for sure!

(I'm a fan and was gifted the 4 disc re-release for Christmas)

hell yeah! It's on my short list.
One thing:
If Dekker IS a replicant - how come it's so easy to beat the puke out of him?

Dang good film and extremely influential. Every bit as influential as the matrix or Pulp Fiction. I vote for the film sans narration.

Fixed that little error...

Who said Deckard was a replicant?

All of your answers are revealed in the box set. There's a very interesting segment that discusses this subject in great detail.

Watched the newest "Directors Cut" last night, loved it but I don't know the film well enough to tell you what's different.

It's set in the early 21st Century so they missed the mark there, we're a long way from flying cars, routine space travel and Replicants.

I have that one in Laserdisc, one of the few that I'll keep (Along with Starwars first 3). The Laserdisc is far superior to any DVD's.

Why do you say that? Do you know what's going on with the latest releases we're discussion here??? I have the Criterion special edition LD version copied and burned to DVD. That version with the extra violence is included in the new DVD releases. The LD version doesn't hold a candle to the same version in HD with the new soundtrack.

It's only my all-time favorite movie. I've seen it dozens of times, owned it on VHS, two versions on Laserdisc, and several versions on DVD. I had heard they Ridley Scott was working on a new DVD set but nothing recently. Imagine my surprise in finding it in our local Fry's just before Christmas. I bought the 4 disc Final Cut version before seeing there was a 5 disc Ultimate Edition, gotta pop for that one.

The wife's and my first date was to see the Director's Cut in an art house theater in San Diego back in 1992.

This will probably be the first movie I watch with the director's commentary.

I never found Sean Young to be interesting, and only fair to look at. This film, or any. But especially this film.

She was a convincing replicant, though.

Darryl Hannah, on the other hand, freaky in this flick, well, she, I'd gladly let bloody my nose...

She was hot, but a certifiable nutcase in real life. Basically torpedoed her own career.

Blade Runner is my all time favorite Science Fiction movie... Sean Young never looked/acted better.... I remember when the movie first came out I read the book which was not nearly as good as the movie.

I saw the Final Cut in the theater last month right before it came out on DVD and loved it....

I remember when the movie first came out Harrsion Ford didn't like it and probably still doesn't although I consider it his best work.

"a sure Desert Island choice."

Does this comment refer to the movie, or Sean Young

For me it would have to be the latter...

She looks so young in that movie but looks alot different now as 25 years of aging has not been kind to her.

In the "making of" documentary Darryl Hannah remarked that while in the casting phase for the part of Pris, she showed up for the audition purposely looking that way while all of her competitors were prim and proper and looking ready to go out on a date. Darryl went on to say that she felt out of place and was certain she wouldn't get the part.

Cheers

I have the directors cut on VHS. I've never thought about upgrading to DVD as I should, along with a few others that I have on VHS such as One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest which happens to be the first movie that I ever saw at a theatre.

Before I plunk down my hard earned cash, I have a couple of questions. What is the advantage of buying the 5 disc set?
And what is the box (briefcase) made out of? Is it metal?
