    OVERALL: Draw

    The R3 Korean CE set includes all the extras seen on the US and UK 10th anniversary release, it's uncut, has DTS sound, includes additional extra features plus it's in a limited edition packaging and includes some character cards.
    If you just want the film and aren't interested in special packaging/cards then check out either the R1 10th anniversay edition or the R4 anniversary release (both are similar except the R4 only includes the 4:3 version of the film), see notes below about the ratio.
    Either way the choice is yours as to what is more important.

    GENERAL NOTES:
    The original ratio of this film is 4:3. In order to create the widescreen version, they cropped the top and bottom off the full-screen version.
