The Region 4 misses out on: - Significance of Belts in Martial Arts (2 pages)
- Heir to the Throne - Jackie Chan (6 pages + filmography)
- Retrospective of Hong Kong Martial Arts Films (19 pages + B&W outtakes from Enter)
- Behind the Scenes - 6 pages
- Reel Recommendations - 16 movies (all fairly rubbishy mind you)
- Subtitles in French and Spanish
- Snapper Case
Region 1 misses out on: - Isolated Music Track
- Subtitles - English SDH
- Transparent Amaray Case
Call it a draw on this score. The extra text pages aren't as good as the isolated music track, but that's my opinion. There are also some other things to consider. - The R1 version suffers from far more aliasing
- The R1 version has a lot less edge enhancement, but suffers from pixelization
- The R4 version is brighter and sharper
- There is a lot less grain in the R4 version
- The R1 version has less 'repair' work done on it, but has more glaring artefacts.
All in all, it's your choice. I can't split them.
