OVERALL: Draw

*R1 "Saviour Of The Universe Edition" for the best transfer and exclusive extras.
*R2 UK "Silver Anniversary Edition" for the exclusive Audio commentaries, Interview and the DTS track.

Fans probably have to get these both.

The R2 French release has the soundtrack CD but also has "forced" subtitles during the English audio tracks.

Also Note that the R1 Universal Pictures, R2 German and R2 UK AE releases have exclusive collectables.
