OVERALL: Draw

The US release includes a lengthy documentary and the choice of Russian or English intertitles while the UK release includes additional films.

Note that the UK edition had a faulty first pressing:

After the release of our Dual Format Edition of Battleship Potemkin/Drifters it became apparent that there was a technical fault with the presentation of Potemkin on the Blu-ray Disc. We have therefore re-authored and re-pressed the project, and replacement Blu-ray Discs are now available. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of the original Blu-ray Disc and would like a replacement, please contact Ben.Stoddart@bfi.org.uk giving details of your name and address and, if possible, proof of purchase and a new disc will be sent to you as soon as possible. We are extremely grateful to you for your patience and understanding during the period it has taken to resolve this matter.

The faulty disc's runtime for "Battleship Potemkin" runs at (68:51) while the corrected disc runs at (68:49)

CUTS:

• Blu-ray ALL America- Kino Video - No cuts - includes the film with English intertitles (72:12) and the film with the original Russian intertitles (71:48). Transfers from 18fps speed, transferred to 25fps using repeated frames, then slowed down 4% to 24fps.
• Blu-ray B Scandinavia- Atlantic Film - No cuts - 18fps speed (68:46).
• Blu-ray B The Soviet Influence United Kingdom- British Film Institute - No cuts - 18fps speed (68:49).
