OVERALL: Draw

The US/Canada Arrow release for all 3 cuts, Dolby Atmos and original Mono tracks, and the best set of extras.

Note that although the UK Limited Edition includes corrected audio and the original mono track, it only includes the cut version.

The other releases have an error in the audio mix: the choral section is missing from Basil Poledouris' "Riders of Doom", which is played over several scenes, and issues with the day-for-night sequences. This is corrected on the Australian release, the French Conan - L'integrale de la Saga Steelbook release, and the Italian re-issue.

The non-US releases include an extra featurette over the USA release as well as including an additional ~1:30 scene ("Moby Dick", at around 105 mins) deleted from the original US edit (which is not to be confused with the even shorter US theatrical release).

GENERAL NOTES:
The film exists in three versions:
- the original U.S. theatrical cut (~127 minutes);
- the international cut (~129 minutes);
- the extended cut (~131 minutes).
