OVERALL: Draw

Theatrical Version: Between the R3 and R6 SE releases for the English DTS (though they're non-anamorphic), and R2 UK, R2 Holland, R2 Germany (FSK 18), R2 Scandinavia and R4 SE's for the anamorphic transfer and extras.

Unrated Extended Version: Only minor language and trailer differences.

Additional Scenes:
Poe's attacker says something rude about Tricia, and Poe getting arrested. 'Baby-O' rescues Poe from a burning cell during a prison riot. There are some tweaks to 'Pinball' dialogue, and a little extra back-story on how Poe once killed a prisoner called "The Giant". 'Johnny-23' brags more about rape, conversation between U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin and Ginny. DEA Agent Duncan Malloy gets an extra moment to ruminate over the death of his DEA agent, Poe shares a few extra words with guard Sally Bishop. 'The Marietta Mangler' kills a guard, and guard Sally Bishop shares a quick exchange with Swamp Thing. Convicts start looting when there land at Lerner Field and additional scenes between Poe and 'Baby-O'. The violence is bloodier, including a more graphic headshot, a prisoner who drools blood after being shot in the chest & the throat-cutting with handcuffs has been reframed & looks more graphic. The burning death of a prisoner (Cindino) is also slightly longer.

A comparison between the Theatrical Version and Unrated Extended Cut is available on Movie Censorship.
