I'm still not entirely convinced that the non-Final-Cut colour timing of Blade Runner is off. It's definitely different than the 1992 DC DVD/LD/VHS (same source), but that's with the assumption that that particular video master was accurate in the first place. Have people actually gone back to the 1980s video transfers and seen if those are at least consistent with the 1992 transfer? I'll admit I haven't, but videophiles recently have begun having a habit of automatically assuming the BD is wrong when there is an equal chance the older version was wrong. Probably the best thing to do with Blade Runner is to check the workprint disc. It has some mis-tints, but it's right from an original film print with little to no restoration work.
