OVERALL: Draw
R2 appears to have additional features (cast interviews and production notes), but has a mono soundtrack and no subtitles.
We'll call this a draw for now, because the R2 specs are "to be confirmed". -
CUTS:
- R1 America- Home Vision Entertainment - No cuts
- R2 United Kingdom- Odyssey Video - No cuts
