The Arrow spec ed BD footnotes say the bonus film (Code Name: Wild Geese) is uncut but it's actually the heavily cut version, as detailed on its DVD page. It's 83:53 PAL, while uncut is 97:10 PAL. Also, "Geese" is mis-spelled "Geece" three times on that page.
The last 7 min 13 sec of the German BD are zoomed in and in much lower quality, as discussed here.
It can be seen on the last screenshot at Caps-a-holic.

You're welcome James, but you haven't noted the German BD's faulty transfer...

Thought you were trying to drive me barmy there: you've added it to the '84 film's listing. The faulty German BD is of the 1978 original film. An easy mistake to make: neither is exactly a memorable masterpiece. ![:wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
