    OVERALL: R3

    The R3 is the clear winner, since it includes the unrated version of the film, an English DTS 5.1 track, additional extra features and the photographs.

    The R0 HK release also has the unrated version and DTS track but is missing a couple of the substantial extras such as the commentary. It does have a small making of not on the R3 though.
