Different Dr. Strangelove DVDs?
I have seen differing versions of cover art for this DVD and cannot remember the specific features or bonus materials listed on each case. Can someone comment on the apparent differences in these DVDs? Do any contain the "pie fight" as bonus material?
Additionally, how does each stand up against the remastered version from the Kubrick Collection?

ALL THREE: Identical video/audio quality
MIDDLE AND RIGHT: Only difference is packaging (package on right was the original release version)
LEFT: Features multiple bonus features nowhere to be found on the middle and right releases (which are truly and completely bare bones--no even a trailer), such as a "making of" documentary, "Stanley Kubrick" featurette, vintage TV interviews with George C. Scott and Peter Sellers, and trailers (including one for DR. STRANGELOVE)--NOTE: This release is identical to the one found in the remastered Kubrick Collection, with the one exception that the stand-alone release is in an Amaray case and the Kubrick Collection is in a Snapper (though the case artwork is, again, identical)
Oh yeah, none of the releases feature the deleted pie fight scene, but the documentary on the Special Edition (the one on the left) does feature pictures of it, along with discussion from those associated with the production...
The short story--the one on the left is the only one worth buying...
