Blade Runner Ebay copy...What the heck?

Ok, I don't suppose this is anything new - bogus copies of Blade Runner are all over Ebay.

But what struck me as funny about this one is the screen shots - this guy seriously believes that the washed-out looking shots on the right are actually better that the official copy?

Check it out -

What's even funnier is....."Region 1 Import DVD". Wouldn't that be an oxymoron.....?

Well, where do you think his "quality-conscious supplier" is located? I'm guessing Mexico.

I actually have a copy of this if it's the Criterion LD rip. Laugh if you want, but the boot is superior to the WB release in many ways. In many ways it's not though

No. Canada is in Region 1. If you buy a Canadian R1 disc and you live in the US, you have bought an R1 import.

I don't know why the OP said, "This guy seriously believes that the washed-out looking shots on the right are actually better than the official copy?"

The ebay ad actually says:

To me, the "Director's Cut" is sharper, but our Euro edition is very acceptable and is, of course, the very best WideScreen version of the original release that is available anywhere in the world at this time.

The guys seems straight up to me.

Given that this appears to be a bootleg, I'm closing this thread.
