If you would like the film with the original Spanish soundtrack in DTS with optional English subtitles without the extras choose the NTSC R3 (HONG KONG).

For the most extras and the original Spanish soundtrack in DTS choose either the PAL R2 (Holland) 3 disc set DVD or PAL R2 (SCANDINAVIA) 2 Disc Set DVD but please note neither of these releases contain English subtitles.

Otherwise choose the NTSC R1, PAL R2 (FRANCE), PAL R2 (UK) depending on your language and subtitle needs, desired extras or budget.

In comparison with all of these releases the PAL R4 does hold up well. The final decision is based on what you desire.
