OVERALL: Draw
The Australian and UK releases have lossless/uncompressed 5.1 and 2.0 audio with some differing exclusive extras.
The US Toulon's Trunk has a bonus disc, but the film only has lossy audio.
It should be noted, according to this link,when the US Blu-ray was first released, it featured a 2.0 Stereo track rather than a 5.1 track as advertised. You can contact Full Moon and mention your original order number and they will send out a free replacement. You can also keep the original copy if you want.
A comparison between the R-rated and Unrated versions is available on Movie Censorship.
