OVERALL: Draw

The French Special Edition includes a DTS track, however the French subs are forced.
The US, Australian, German, Italian, Scandinavian, and UK releases have Dolby Digital 5.1 audio with no forced subtitles while the German Koch Media release includes additional extras.

GENERAL NOTES:
Stephen King was forced to make some cuts to this film in order to avoid an X rating for violence. The scenes cut, to this day have not been reinstated in any release, thus the only version in circulation is the original theatrical cut. The scenes are reported to total around 13 seconds and include:
- Six Seconds of the Dixie Boy shoot out.
- Three seconds of the steam roller running over the boy.
- Three seconds of the salesman's face falling into his lap.
