[[The Criterion Collection]] 2008 version of four DVDs adds commentary by [[Ian Buruma]], composer David Byrne, and the Director's interview with [[Jeremy Isaacs]] ({{ISBN|978-1-60465-014-3}}). It includes a booklet featuring an essay by [[David Thomson (film critic)|David Thomson]], interviews with production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti and actor Ying Ruocheng, a reminiscence by Bertolucci, and an essay and production-diary extracts from Fabien S. Gerard.

The film was for quite some time unavailable on DVD or Blu-Ray in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio, as cinematographer [[Vittorio Storaro]] had insisted on a cropped 2:1 version that retroactively conforms the film to his [[Univisium]] standard. Copies of the film in its original ratio were then rare and sought after by fans of the film.

The film has since been restored in 4K and in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio, and has been released on Blu-ray and UHD in 2023 in several countries using this 4K restoration.<ref>{{cite web |title=Review of The Last Emperor 2023 UK Blu-ray |url=https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Last-Emperor-Blu-ray/327942/#Review |website=Blu-ray.com}}</ref>
