OVERALL: Draw

The German release has the most extras and the original Japanese mono audio.
The Hong Kong release has a 2.0 stereo audio track, but lacks many of the extras.

Note:
The odd 2.00:1 aspect ratio seems to be down to the fact the film was shot in VistaVision. That said, when comparing the image on the US disc with that on the Hong Kong, the latter has more image on the right and a sliver on the bottom but the US gains equally on the left. The raw image aspect ratio on the OCN could very well be 2.2:1 or even 2.35:1.

CUTS:

• R0 Hong Kong- Eastern Star - No cuts (105:15 NTSC)
• R1 America- Shout! Factory - No cuts (105:15 NTSC)
• R1 Canada- Shout! Factory - No cuts (105:15 NTSC)
• R2 Germany- Subkultur Entertainment - No cuts - Includes the original Japanese version (101:02 PAL) and the German version (83:24 PAL)
