Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The Region 1 and Region 4 discs are almost identical, with exactly the same extras. The R1 has a French soundtrack (mono), but fewer subtitle options. Oh, and the R1 has a subtly animated main menu with a short sound clip (nothing exciting). The only other difference I noted was that they get a layer change (at 60:55, on a scene change), while we don't - it's a small difference, but a nice one.

    I judge the R4 transfer to be slightly better, but the differences are rather small - if you already have the R1 I would not suggest you run out to replace it.
