OVERALL: Draw
The Austrian 2-disc release has both the extended version and the theatrical version with 5.1 tracks, but only bonus trailers as extras.
The US release has the most extras. Note the 2 mins of footage cut for the film's HK theatrical release is included as deleted scenes.
Versions:
The film was cut (by approx. 2 mins) in Hong Kong for its theatrical release, and it's this version that has been distributed across the world.
Notes on differences between the Hong Kong theatrical version and the extended version can be found at Movie-Censorship.

These were originally removed from the Hong Kong theatrical edition (97:44 NTSC).
