Region 4 Winners and Losers

    There have been a number of versions of the film released in Japan, the US and Europe as well as an earlier release in Australia. Perhaps the best is the Region 1 release that has both editions of the film, audio commentaries on both plus a couple of featurettes. The Region 2 UK release has only the original version, but includes an audio commentary and a couple of featurettes. From screen captures I have seen, both have better video, with better brightness and contrast, than our version. The Japanese Region 2 has the original version, and a commentary but neither are subtitled. Other than the Region 1 release, Region 4 is the only region to get both versions of the film.
