There's only one BD missing from the comparison: the French EuropaCorp (ASIN: B00PBER2TM). I can't find full specs; can anyone help? I do know it has the 2015 4K remastered transfer and only the 1½-minute trailer as an extra. Alternatively, please add the footnote: Also issued in France by EuropaCorp

Footnote for both comparisons:
Despite some releases claiming otherwise, the film has no modern dialogue at all. Ulam, a specially created Stone Age language by writer-composer Anthony Burgess, is spoken throughout and has never been subtitled on any release. There is [note italics] a brief introductory title card, which is translated for different countries:

"80,000 years ago, man's survival in a vast uncharted land depended on the possession of fire.
For those early humans, fire was an object of great mystery, since no one had mastered its creation. Fire had to be stolen from nature, it had to be kept alive - sheltered from wind and rain, guarded from rival tribes.
Fire was a symbol of power and a means of survival. The tribe who possessed fire, possessed life."

Added. Thank you.

Blimey, quick work again, James - thank you! Just wondering: why'd you replace the previous standard Concorde BD (B002PBH6WW) with the steelbook, instead of listing it separately or just adding a note with a link?

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

My mistake. Fixed.

[Brent_Reid]

Thanks. I just noticed that as lossless LPCM 2.0 stereo is present, the UK BD footnote should be amended to:

"The UK release has some exclusive extras, but only has lossy audio for the surround track."
