The Japanese 2-disc version has both the longer Japanese version, though it only has 2.0 audio and the Japanese version is non-anamorphic.
The French release includes the international version with a lengthy documentary and 5.1 audio.
The UK release has the international version plus outtakes, but only has 2.0 audio.
The Taiwanese release has the Hong Kong version, but the transfer is non-anamorphic, has burned-in subtitles, and only has a fully dubbed Mandarin 5.1 audio.
The Hong Kong Mei release has the Hong Kong version, but the transfer is non-anamorphic, has burned-in subtitles, and only has fully dubbed Cantonese and Mandarin mono audio tracks.
There appears to be three versions of the film:
- Hong Kong Theatrical (~95 mins NTSC) has slightly less footage than the Japanese version, but likely (unconfirmed) has the same music.
- Japanese (~97 mins NTSC) has the most footage with two extended scenes, no ADR, and different music to the International version.
- International (~88 mins NTSC) has the least footage, ADR, and different music to the theatrical version.
Thanks to Rewind user Scott_Napier for these details.
