OVERALL: Draw
Both releases have unique extras. Note that the UK release has an extended version of the VIPCO documentary - presumably why it includes a 'Stonger Uncut Version' tag - although that's a nod to VIPCO covers, rather than likely including any actual stroner content!
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was taken out of the hands of original directors Thomas Doran and Brendan Faulkner, and was recut with new scenes directed by Genie Joseph. The original edit was never completed and the original directors have disowned the final product. -
