OVERALL: Draw
The R2 Austria, France, & UK Arrow reissue releases each contain differing sets of extras.
Note most of the extras on the Austrian & French releases are not English-friendly.
Note the original Arrow release used the R-rated version. Arrow issued a replacement Blu-ray and DVD which includes the Unrated version. Replacement discs can be obtained by contacting Arrow.
We haven't done the actual comparison, but the R2 UK Metrodome and Prism Direct/Leisure versions seem to be shorter (cut?). The difference is 15 seconds (see cut-notes).
Information on the differences between the Unrated version and R-rated version can be found at Movie-Censorship.com (SPOILERS!).
-
