- The Dutch release seems to be uncut given its running time, but this is still to be confirmed. However, it is in 1.78:1 instead of the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, except on a part of the movie, and has no extras.
- The UK and Scandinavian releases are in the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, but the transfer isn't anamorphic, there are almost no extras and one scene of the movie is missing.
The German release sould be avoided since it is also missing one scene, has a 1.78:1 transfer, only a German soundtrack and very minor extras. But do note that the boxset has the best extras.
Do note that none of the editions currently listed offers the Italian soundtrack. -
