OVERALL: Draw

The German "Director's Cut" release has both the original Russian version (director's cut) and the International cut.

The UK Special Edition and German Special Edition releases have the international cut with additional extras. Only minor language and trailer differences.

GENERAL NOTES:
- The "International Cut" has the prologue and epilogue in English with the rest of the film in the original Russian.
- The subtitles on SIDE B of the US disc and DISC TWO of the UK release are specially created to fit the scene. For example, if a character walks away, the subtitles fade away with them.

Information on differences between the director's cut and international version can be found at Movie-Censorship.
