OVERALL: R1
The Kino edition features a good set of extras, colour tinting and the original score.
As this film has had such a turbulent history due to censorship cuts and political alterations, there are various different cuts in existence. No evidence has been found to suggest that (accounting for 4% PAL speedup) the Eureka/Force edition contains any additional footage or is more complete.
Image comparison can be found from the link below:
