The only blu-ray version of Friday is the embarrassing "Director's Cut" that has several endless, pace-stalling, timing-decimating quasi-improvised rants by John Witherspoon at the beginning and end, as well as a pat "happy ending" deus ex machina at the last minute that ruins the ambiguity about Craig's job loss present in the theatrical.

I wouldn't rule out a future double-dip with the cleaned up theatrical release down the road though, since the director has never made some megalomaniacal proclamation about "his movies" and "his vision" and such like doggerel.  But for now, it's unfortunate.
