    OVERALL: Draw

    Both R0 Anchor Bay and R2 German -releases has the audio commentary. R0 has the "World of Hammer" -episode, and R2 has the interview.

    Note, that ALL releases are actually 2.10:1 ("The film has been framed at 2.10:1 on DVD, because the film was shot with early CinemaScope lenses, which causes some distortion at the extreme edges of the frame when projected through modern equipment"), even when some reviews list this as 2.35:1.
