OVERALL: Draw
- The US "Vengeance Trilogy" boxset has both versions of the movie with DTS soundtracks and the best extras, but unfortunately the theatrical version is incorrectly flagged and non-progressive.
- The Korean release has also both versions, a DTS soundtrack on the director's cut and great extras, including an exclusive audio commentary, but only the movie itself is English friendly.
- The French release has a DTS soundtrack on the director's cut and great extras, only losing an audio commentary compared to the Korean edition, but this edition is not English friendly whatsoever.
The following versions of the movie are known:
- The original Theatrical version, in colour,
- The Director's cut, gradually changing to black and white.
