All extras are in SD and in English with optional German subtitles except the commentaries, TV spots and music video are without subtitles and the bonus trailers are dubbed in German.
NOTE: First pressing was defective, transfer being filled with compression artefacts and other transfer issues; the remastered subsequent pressings are free of these issues. The only way to tell the difference between the pressings without watching the film, is the number code on the inner ring of the disc itself:
- Defective pressing: 55014654/32548 DO 21
- Fixed pressing: 55082159/32548-1 DO 21
Constantin Film had a replacement program going on; unconfirmed whether it's still active today. -

OVERALL: Draw
The German release has additional extras but do note it offers DTS-HD High Resolution audio for the film as opposed to DTS-HD Master Audio/Dolby TrueHD available on other releases.
Canadian and U.S. releases also have a minor exclusive extra, Michael Bay's teaser trailer.
The Australian release is missing the commentaries.
NOTE:
If you get the German release, just make sure you get one of the remastered copies, the initial pressing is defective with serious transfer issues!!
Also available in:
- Brazil by Europa Filmes
- France by Metropolitan
GENERAL NOTES:
The R-rated version is only official release version. Cuts were made to avoid an NC-17 rating but these bits only exist as deleted scenes. There is no alternate cut. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL America- New Line Home Entertainment - No cuts (98:19)
