So does anyone know if the US release is edited or not?

Does anyone have both the Australian edition and the R2 Platinum Edition, who can tell me which edition to get? I'm interested in both a/v quality and extras.

As to the uncut version, I'm a little confused about the R2 - is it the uncut version of the film with a new soundtrack, or the international (besson) version? Also, is the new soundtrack any good, or just bad techno in place of the original thai soundtrack?

Thanks for any answers,

Mike

theres an extensive, graphical comparison of various editions here :

The R4 Aussie discs includes both the Besson cut and Thai cut.

The R2 UK disc is the Thai cut with a new score. The new score is very good IMO.

Thanks, mrwilson and logboy.

I'm inclined to go for the R2 Platinum, as it seems to have good image quality and extras, and is available through cdwow (where the aussie dropped off from about a month ago). Shame that it doesn't have the original score as an alternate audio track, though - I have mixed feelings about supporting an altered version of the film.
