Please ensure you read our disclaimer.
19/06/14: Added Australian release; added note about versions; added information about the unrated cut on both the US and Australian BDs actually being a hybrid edit rather than the 'true' unrated version.
11/1/17: Tried the Australian disc on a BD player set to 'A' and it played, so changed the region to 'region all'.
