The 2018 US/Canadian releases have the same extras as the previous US release, including a vintage making of, a TV spot and a stills gallery not included on the UK release, with 1080p transfers on both versions with lossless audio.
The 2022 4K+Blu-ray US/Canadian releases feature a newer 4K scan of the theatrical version and also feature Dolby Atmos audio, though they lose the vintage making-of featurette.
