OVERALL: Draw

R0 US release by Anchor Bay has the Audio Commentary and English DD 5.1 track (no original Mono), but it's Non-Anamorphic. Do note, that the 5.1-remix is not the proper 5.1-mix, so 2.0 surround -track is actually a better choice.
R2 UK , Spanish & German -releases are Anamorphic (Spanish has original Mono track) and the German -release also include a nice booklet (in German only), but they´re both also missing the Audio Commentary. German -release is missing the "World Of Hammer" episode also. The choice is yours.
CUTS:
- R0 America- Anchor Bay - No Cuts.
