OVERALL: Draw

Between the R1, R2 Japan and the new R2/R4 trilogy box sets. R1 has one additional commentary on each disc, but no DTS tracks as found on R2/R4 and R2 Japan. On R2/R4 and R2 Japan we also have the interviews "Q&A with Director Robert Zemeckis and Producer Bob Gale" on the bonus disc instead of commentaries as found on the R1. R1 also have DVD-ROM contents and a few more text based extras not on R2/R4 and R2 Japan.

Note also that the Japanese R2 box set comes in a special limited premium package. Disc 1 in this set comes with "Welcome to Universal Japan Theme Park" -short extra not found on any other release.

Previous pressings of ALL Region releases of the Widescreen Version of this film are inaccurately framed. These may still be in stock at some places so make sure you get the V2.0 discs. The new R2/R4 4-disc set does not have this problem. (See notes for more info on individual releases)
