http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=4333

R2 United Kingdom - Anchor Bay Entertainment

The specs for this release are not quite correct. The main thing missing is that it is a two-disc set ("Double Disc Special Edition", see cover art at http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReview ... sangre.htm ). Although I am not 100% sure, I don't think there was a single-disc edition.

Disc One
* The Film
Audio commentary with director/co-writer Alejandro Jodorowsky, and film journalist Alan Jones

Disc Two
- Louis Mouchet's "The Jodorowsky Constellation AKA La constellation Jodorowsky (1994)" documentary (87 min) ---> correct, 86:41
- Theatrical trailer ---> not correct, there is no trailer
- Director/co-writer Alejandro Jodorowsky biography (by journalist David Flint) ---> correct, on-screen text biography, 13 pages
- Stills and poster gallery ---> correct
- Deleted scene (with audio commentary by director/co-writer Alejandro Jodorowsky, and film journalist Alan Jones) ---> correct, 4:35
- Filmed on-stage Q&A with director/co-writer Alejandro Jodorowsky (after a screening of Santa Sangre in London in December 2002) ---> correct, 24:35
- Short film "Echek" (directed by Alejandro's son, Adan Jodorowsky - silent, with optional commentary) ---> correct, 3:54

Eight-Page Booklet
- Production Notes (by journalist David Flint) --->add to comparison

Film Duration: 118:09

Other specs are correct.

Source: I own this DVD.

There is a word missing from the verdict, should be "The US, UK, French, German Universum and German Koch Media Limited Edition releases for the 5.1 audio and different exclusive extras."

There is also an R2 UK DVD by Mr Bongo Films, review (might not be detailed enough): http://www.sexgoremutants.co.uk/reviews ... gbong.html
From that review, this version looks similar to the Anchor Bay with these differences:
- Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack (presumably) not included
- Short film "Echek" included but without commentary
- David Flint text biography not mentioned in the review, presumably not included
- David Flint booklet essay not mentioned in the review, presumably not included
- 27-minute documentary "Alejandro Jodorowsky's Cult Cinema" added (also on the French DVD)
- Trailer added

There is a typo in the Blu-Ray comparison http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=25467 :
"Echek" a short film by Adan Jodorowsky (4 misn, 1080i50). misn should be mins
