OVERALL: Draw

– R1 "Vengeance Trilogy Boxset" has the "Jonathan Ross on Park Chan-wook" featurette and photo slideshow, but the transfer is non-progressive.
– R2 UK "Vengeance Trilogy Boxset" has only the "Jonathan Ross on Park Chan-wook" featurette but seems to be progressive.
– R2 France isn't English-friendly at all, but it offers an interview with director Park Chan-wook as well as "Music and sound" featurettes.
– R3 Korea has presumably the same extras than the French edition, with additional photo slideshows and production notes, but it has only English subtitles for the movie itself and is reframed at 2.25:1.

Also note that R0 UK CE has a DTS-ES soundtrack and a "Behind-the-Scenes" featurette, but it is a NTSC→PAL conversion and is reframed at 2.21:1.
