OVERALL: Draw
The US and German editions each have exclusive extras.
There are conflicting reports about the region code of the 1080i50 possibly-upscaled Australian release (let us know if you can confirm it). With the box set, you'll also get "The World of Hammer (1990)" documentary series on DVD.
GENERAL NOTES:
The audio commentary featuring writer Nigel Kneale and Val Guest is edited together from two separate commentaries both recorded for the 1998 Roan Group laserdisc where they were presented as separate tracks.
