OVERALL: Draw

The Original Limited Japanese Unrated release is fully UNCUT, but is Non-Anamorphic, only has 2.0 sound and is VERY hard to find. There is another Japanese release which is Anamorphic, has 5.1 sound and some extras including a featurette, but this version is slightly cut.
The current R1, R2's and the R4 releases are anamorphic and 5.1 however they are the US R-Rated cut, which is missing a few seconds (refer to cut notes below).
Beware however that the German FSK 16 version and the old Swedish release are cut for an additional 4min 25sec, AVOID THESE VERSIONS!
