OVERALL: Draw
Each has exclusive extras. The Grindhouse disc has a bonus CD soundtrack while the 88 Films has a bonus Blu-ray of the American version.
NOTE:
Rome Armed to the Teeth was shot in Italian (bar Arthur Kennedy in a supporting role who's own voice is on the English dubtrack) and that is the preferred viewing option. The Grindhouse disc lists the English track as "The Original ..." but it isn't the one that matches the the language on set. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL America- Grindhouse Releasing - No cuts (93:53).
- Blu-ray B The Limited Edition Series United Kingdom- 88 Films - No cuts - includes the original export version (93:53) and the U.S. version (82:57)
