The Region 4 release of the film misses out on nothing (although, let's face it, some more extras would have been nice). The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on; The Region 4 version wins without question on the basis of the better picture quality. From a number of reviews I've read of the R1 release, the non-enhanced NTSC picture apparently suffers, as you'd expect, from visible line structure and lack of brightness. It really is wonderful to see so many local releases getting the widescreen enhancement that they deserve.
