The US 3-Disc Limited Edition, the Japan release, and the UK Special Edition releases have the most exclusive extras (although the Japan release is not English friendly). It should be noted however that the US LE release has 7.1 surround and the original mono, an Easter egg, and is also English friendly.
Do note however, in initial pressings of the UK release is missing 6 seconds of footage due to a seamless branching 'in point' being incorrectly positioned. Arrow is currently doing a replacement program and the replacement disc can be purchased through their website.
