The 4K master approved by the director has a brief shot that incorrectly repeats over a different scene - this is also true of the French edition from Carlotta Films - and the Blu-ray copy is presented in the wrong color space. A replacement program is available from Arrow Films here. -

OVERALL: Draw
The UK LE Arrow release has the most extras.
Note the German release has storyboards and stills galleries, plus an optional widescreen version of the film. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL Limited Edition Germany- Turbine - No cuts (82:21).
- Blu-ray ALL Limited Edition United Kingdom- Arrow Films - No cuts (82:16). Initial pressings had a repeated scene around 23:50 into the film, which appears to be present on other remastered Blu-ray releases like the French Carlotta release and the Scandinavian Njutafilms release. Both pressings run for the same length; the corrected pressings can be distinguished by the presence of "-V2" beneath the rating on the disc label.
- Blu-ray ALL Standard Edition United Kingdom- Arrow Films - No cuts (82:16).
