OVERALL: Draw

The Universal releases and the Italian Dynit release for the extras and anamorphic picture. Note the US release also includes the trailer.
The French release is also anamorphic and has a different extra in French.

Note that all R2/R4 Universal releases have player-generated captions. Locations, times and dates originally appeared on-screen superimposed on, or scrolling across, a black bar the width of the screen. These are now displayed using player-generated subtitles, BUT the black bar has not been removed and the subtitles have not been formatted to appear over it, so the end result is a black bar flashing up on screen a couple of dozen times during the movie. R1 has original captions.
