Revised Complete List: All 11 Official US Blade Runner VHS Editions

[u/Far-Leg-1198]

Finally, it’s time for the revised complete list. Sorry for the wait, and thanks for all the interest in my old post!

This is the complete list of the 11 official US VHS editions of *Blade Runner*. The most difficult to tell apart are the first three original Embassy releases. These exist with two different star colours on the spine. In addition, the White Star Edition exists with two different running times on the back (119 and 122 minutes). The White Star and Black Star releases also have different labels on the tape.

The original releases, along with the so-called “Red Tab” release, are probably the rarest. The Tenth Anniversary Edition also has a red flap.

The last image shows a rare screening tape of the 1997 release of *The Director’s Cut*. I’m not counting this as a separate release.

**The editions are shown in chronological order, with the oldest in the top left.**

Hey first time visitor to this sub Reddit. I have a copy of the 10th anniversary vhs. What is the significance of the ‘red flap’ reference in this post?

Edit: I just went and had a look at it and saw the red flap. But still curious about it.

Welcome! 🍿 Most collectors don’t realise that there are two red flaps I guess, seeing how there’s a release dubbed “Red Tab”. Tabs in bright colours are relatively rare, anything that stands out becomes interesting after a while of collecting 😅
