OVERALL: Draw
The UK release is the strongest of the three - as well as including 5.1 remixes and both cuts, like the US release, it has an optional overture for the roadshow version, as well as three significant interviews, a Super 8 version of the film, and an exclusive commentary. However, the US release includes a different exclusive commentary and the French release has an exclusive featurette the other releases do not (although note it is not English-friendly).
