OVERALL: Draw
UK release for having an anamorphic transfer as well as a couple of extras. The German disc has a commentary.
If you understand Czech then you may also be interested in the Czech release (film is English friendly, extras not) and the French release. Both of these are non-anamorphic but include different extras to the UK release.
