Does anyone know if the blu-ray set is cropped, panned vs the DVD set?

I believe the BD release was indeed cropped to "fit the screen" for 16x9 which is why I never picked it up. Unless they did a re-release on BD in 4x3 that I have not heard of.

I'm pretty sure there was a rerelease in the uk that corrected the aspect ratio. No idea of the region status.

Rocket1312 is correct. There was a proper aspect ratio release in the UK that is Region B locked and 1080i/50.
