Forgot to add that the Japanese cut (on disc 2) has burnt-in Japanese subtitles on the right side of the screen.
The picture has not been restored. There are scratches and dirt.
It is listed under the bonus features section on the disc.

The distributor is Twin. There is no Paramount logo anywhere on the case.

Also all of the older Japanese releases where also by Twin.
