OVERALL: Draw
Between the UK Arrow 6-disc Limited Edition release for the anamorphic remastered transfer and best set of extras and the Anchor Bay UK R0 (not the budget Bay View re-release) and the German R2, for the DD5.1 soundtrack and differing extras (similar in quantity between the two, but the Anchor Bay's extras are more relevant to the film).
Note also that DVD Beaver rates the non-anamorphic Criterion transfer as better than the anamorphic Anchor Bay.
