As the Region 4 version of this disc appears to be essentially identical to the Region 1 version and also should include a production booklet, the local version is the obvious winner. If you require the Thai or Cantonese soundtracks or the Coco Lee video clips, then the Region 3 release is the obvious choice. Potential buyers should also note that this disc has been released three times in Region 3. Initially, the disc included the English subtitles and English dub audio track. In an effort to reduce importation by regions where the movie was still showing cinematically, Columbia Tristar reissued the disc excluding the English dub and subtitles. After the announcement of the Region 1 version of this disc, Columbia released the title again reinstating the English content.
