OVERALL: Draw
– The Korean edition has two versions of the movie, a DTS 6.1 soundtrack, English subtitles and many extras, but they are in Korean only.
– The UK release has the International version, a DTS 5.1 track and the best selection of English-friendly extras but is cut by 5 seconds.
– The French edition has only the International version, a DTS soundtrack and a documentary, but this edition isn’t English-friendly at all, and French subtitles are presumably forced on the movie, which is uncut.
– The US and Australian editions have only the International version, English-friendly extras, uncut, though no DTS.
A comparison between the Korean and the International versions is available on Schnittberichte. -
