OVERALL: Draw

- The UK Re-Release has both English and Italian soundtracks, with English subtitles if you go through the replacement program, but only a few extras.
- The US release has the best set of extra-features, but is interlaced and has only the English soundtrack.
- The Czech and Hong Kong releases have DTS, but almost no extras and again only feature the English track. Dutch release also has DTS but should be avoided as it is non-anamorphic.

Note that the Italian and Japanese release may have a few exclusive extras, but not English friendly.
