OVERALL: Draw
The US/Canada Shout! Factory and Kino Lorber, French, German Capelight and UK releases for the most extras, with minor language differences. Note the French release is also available in a 3-disc set which includes a DVD copy and 160-page book while the Kino Lorber releases feature a newer 4K transfer but loses out on the still gallery from the Shout! release(s). In addition, the Shout and Arrow releases feature the original Stereo while the Kino release is a downmix of the 5.1 track.
