OVERALL: Draw
The US Severin and UK 4K+Blu-ray releases are uncut and has the most and differing extras. Do note, the Severin Films' website exclusive includes the original soundtrack.
The US/Canada Blue Underground, French, and German 2017 UK releases have some differing exclusive extras, though note they are missing some footage. Note the German release has forced subtitles.
The trailers and title card erroneously sport a "Dolby Stereo" logo but the film was mixed in mono with Dolby noise reduction.
