OVERALL: Draw

– The Korean edition has a 7.1 soundtrack and the best extras, but they are not English-friendly.
– The US release has some other exclusive extras and is English-friendly, but the transfer is interlaced.
– The French edition has a 90-minute documentary, but is not English-friendly at all.
– Japanese release has both cuts of the movie and good selection of Extras, but Extras are not English-friendly.

Do note that the UK release has the best English friendly extras, but it has been cut by the BBFC.
