OVERALL: Draw
R1 and R2/R4 UEs, for the new transfer, DTS, and extras. Do note, that R1 UE includes the original Mono-track.
Also note that R2 UK Ultimate Edition reportedly suffers from lip synching problems. We do not know if these problems are present for the other countries.
General notes (source: "James Bond DVD Guide" by Richard Crowther - Zetaminor):
"The BBFC request some cuts to the lift fight sequence between Peter Franks and Bond, notably a reduction of the amount of footage showing Bond using a fire extinguisher to kill Franks. Also edited were shots of Bond wielding a brandy bottle as a weapon, and a reduction of the footage showing Kidd jumping over the ship’s rail, whilst on fire at the end of the film. It seems clear that some, if not all, of this footage has long since been reinserted back into the film." -
