OVERALL: Draw
All the R2 SE -releases are the best choice for their inclusion of a DTS track, but avoid the UK edition as the English DTS track is faulty. All R2 releases may be affected the same way. The German LE contains a bonus Soundtrack CD, and the R2 Japanese-release has "full bitrate" DTS-track for purists. However, it is in the wrong aspect ratio and is censored. R2 Scandinavian release is missing the Blonde Poison doc as well as a few minor extras, though it has a long interview with the director.
Note, that R1 UE ("Lions Gate") includes exclusive introduction and "A Conversation with Sharon Stone"-featurette. -
CUTS:
- R1 R-Rated America- Artisan - No Cuts - "R-Rated" Theatrical Version.
- R1 R-Rated - Special Edition America- Artisan - No Cuts - "R-Rated" Theatrical Version.
- R1 Ultimate Edition America- Lions Gate Home Entertainment - No Cuts - "UNRATED" Version.
- R1 Unrated - Special Edition America- Artisan - No Cuts - "UNRATED" Version.

- R2 Special Edition Holland- RCV - No Cuts - "UNRATED" Version.
- R2 Japan- Pioneer - Sources indicate some optical censoring is present (blurring of nudity).
- R2 Special Edition Portugal- Universal Pictures - No Cuts - "UNRATED" Version.
