OVERALL: Draw
Between R0, R1 and R2 UK.
R0 and R2 UK feature a DTS track and making-of for all three movies, while R1 has the movie 'Dumpling', usually available separately (see comparison HERE) on a second disc, "Dumpling" making-of and an audio commentary on 'Box'.
The French release has the same characteristics than R0 and R2 UK, but has forced french subtitles and is not English friendly.
