OVERALL: Draw
R1 2-disc Special Edition, for the DTS-ES soundtrack or the R2 UK 2.0 release for both versions of the film.
The R3 Korean 2-disc release inlcudes some unique extras but only has 2.0 sound.
GENERAL NOTES:
Regarding subtitle sync problems with some release:
- The easiest way to tell the difference between the two R2 UK versions, is that the older one with the audio delay has no BBFC logo on the spine, the newer one without any audio synch problems does have the BBFC logo on the spine.
Versions:
This was re-released in a new edit in 2008. We have called this the 2008 version and the original theatrical edit the 1995 version. The 2008 version is more widely known as "2.0". The "2.0" version features a number of new 3D CG-enhancements to existing scenes and runs approximately 1m22s longer than the original version. -
