OVERALL: Draw
The R1 Canadian release includes a great 50 minute documentary and both cuts of the film, unfortunately the ratio is incorrect. The OAR of this film is actually 2.35:1, although the transfer on this release is not cropped but rather open matted, it's still the incorrect ratio. Scandinavian R2 -release has OAR transfer, but lacks English subtitles and has no extras at all.
The R2 UK lacks the documentary but includes a series of exclusive extras.
The choice is yours as to what is more important.
GENERAL NOTES:
The Extended Version of the film is exclusive to the Canadian R1 release.
