OVERALL: Draw
- The HK edition is the only confirmed one offering the extended version, but it has hardly any extras.
- The US and German editions have the movie in its original aspect ratio and both have different extras.
The UK edition is open-matte at 1.78:1 and has burnt-in subtitles, and thus should be avoided.
The following versions are known:
- The HK 'uncensored' version (~146min),
- The European version (~142min).
A comparison between both is available on Movie Censorship. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray A America- Lions Gate Home Entertainment - No cuts - European version (142:20).
- Blu-ray A Hong Kong- Edko - No cuts - HK 'uncensored' version (145:59).
- Blu-ray ALL United Kingdom- Revolver Entertainment - No cuts - European version (142:11).
- Blu-ray B Germany- Alive AG/Falcom Media - No cuts - European version (142:13).
- Blu-ray B Scandinavia- Future Film / Star Media Entertainment / Noble Entertainment - No cuts - European version (142:03).
