OVERALL: Draw

The HK SE has DTS sound, and a anamorphic transfer. The R2 SE's have the best set of extras (all with subtitles). The Criterion also has some decent extras, as does the Korean release, which comes packaged in a limited edition tin.
The choice is yours as to what's more important.

Image comparison between the Criterion and the French R2 is available HERE.
