OVERALL: Draw
Between the R2 German 3-disc release, which has both cuts of the film (as well as a third disc with OST), and the R2 Scandinavian 2-disc release, which has DTS on both cuts and the same extras.
The R1, R2 UK and R2 Scandinavian CE Uncut Edition's include a newly re-mastered transfer with new extras and commentaries (with US release having some minor extras over the UK release), do note that it has a slightly shorter time then the theatrical cut due to some tweaks made by the director.
For more info (SPOILERS), please see the "R-rated vs Unrated" comparison on Movie-Censorship.com. The German "Director's Cut" slightly differs from the U.S. one, more info on Movie-Censorship.com.
NB the BBFC have confirmed the 2 UK versions as follows:
Q: Please could you confirm which DVD release ('R-rated' at 98m 56s or 'Unrated' at 99m 4s) is the same as the UK theatrical version?
A: We classified the 'unrated' US version for UK cinema release.
So the longer, 'unrated' version (99 mins) is the same as the cinema version. -
