OVERALL: Draw
The R0 UK first issue has one extra featurette: the 13-minute R. Dixon Smith documentary. The R1 has the convenience of a single disc and the ability to access the full screenplays and treatments from the DVD menu instead of as DVD-ROM material. The R1 is also reported to have the edge for picture quality.
Note that the R0 UK re-issue includes the Czech version but drops some of the extras and it’s NTSC.
