OVERALL: Draw
R1 20th Anniversary Edition has a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack and most of the Criterion Collection extras, and adds extras including a retrospective documentary and new commentary.
Do note R0 Criterion has an LPCM 2.0 track and some exclusive extras: "Introduction to the supplements by Spike Lee", "Back to Bed-Stuy" and "Spike's Last Word" featurettes, as well as the "Fight The Power" music video.
Also note the identical Universal PAL releases exclusively have the "Behind-the-Scenes" and "Location Visit" featurettes.
Avoid the US "Spike Lee Joint Collection" as it drops all extras.
