The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on; - Audio Commentary - David Fincher (Director)
- Audio Commentary - Chuck Palahniuk (Novelist), Jim Uhls (Screenwriter)
- Audio Commentary - Alex McDowell (production designer), Jeff Cronenweth (cinematographer), Michael Kaplan (costume designer), Kevin Haug (visual effects supervisor)
- A single deleted scene
Of these missing extras, the only one that I can say I really miss is the commentary by Chuck Palahniuk and Jim Uhls, chiefly because it is not an everyday event to get a novelist and a screenwriter in the same room to comment about a film that the latter based on the former's work. It would have been nice, however, to have been given a choice as to whether I wanted to listen to the commentaries or not. Fans of the film are going to have to choose between a trio of commentary tracks (and I should warn you that director-only commentaries and production crew member commentaries are frequently a real chore to sit through) or PAL formatting. If you want a better-looking picture with no 3:2 pulldown artefacts, Region 4 is the way to go, but if you want a more comprehensive extras package, Region 1 is the way to go. I feel that because of these respective advantages, the two versions are more or less equal, but you may beg to differ.
