OVERALL: Draw
The UK release has the more substantial extras and the original aspect ratio. It also allows the subtitles for the German dialogue to be removed.
The US disc has an isolated score and its own booklet, but note it is in a compromised aspect ratio and the subtitles for the German dialogue are burned-in.
