OVERALL: Draw
Severin (limited or standard) has a new 4K restoration and 5.1 audio as well as brand new and archival extras (the CD is exclusive to the limited edition). Scorpion has a couple exclusive extras, as does the German edition.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was mixed in mono. All 5.1 and stereo tracks derive from either the remix carried out by Cecchi Gori Home Video for the DTS/Dolby Digital 5.1 DVD release or Chace Surround for the Anchor Bay DVD. -
