OVERALL: R2
UK "Collector's Edition box set" (by Anchor Bay UK), for the best set of extra features and a DTS track.
Do note that R1 20th Anniversary Edition has three exclusive featurettes but no DTS and is also missing on several extras found on the UK "Collector's Edition box set".
General notes: There are also reports of an additional scene featuring Pinhead and the Female cenobite in surgery room outfits. A stills photographer took a photo of the set-up, but they didn't get around to filming it as it just didn't work (this is explained in "Under the Skin" featurette on the R2 UK AB box set).

R2 United Kingdom- VCI - Yes. BBFC made cuts to the "R-rated -version" ("The visuals for this work were cut by 3 seconds, and there was also 1 min 4 seconds of audio substitutions"), so comparing to the "Unrated version", there are almost 5 minutes of cuts. "R-rated" cuts as follows:
-The opening replay of Frank's (Sean Chapman's) final moments from Hellraiser (11s worth) has been replaced by a close-up of Pinhead saying We'll tear your soul apart.
-The creation of Pinhead loses 7 shots totalling 6s. ie 2 shots of hooks digging into the flesh, 4 shots of a razor slitting his scalp and a shot of the final nail being driven deep into his skull.
-55s has been deleted from Julia's (Claire Higgins') resurrection; 35s of razor slits, 16s of the victim crawling across the floor and 4s of Julia feeding from the victim's neck.
-The transformation of Channard (Kenneth Cranham) into a cenobite suffers; a 2s loss of an injection of needles, 3s of cheese wire digging into his skin and 4s of a thing forcing its way into his mouth.
-Kirsty's (Ashley Laurence's) encounter with Frank 2 cuts totalling 6s of Frank peeling the skin off his face and a 1s close-up of Julia's hand entering his back to rip his heart out.
-Channard's hospital visit has a 1s cut showing a knife jamming itself into a patients forehead
-Channard's battle with the Cenobites loses 3s of a female cenobite's spear wound in the throat and 8s of Pinhead having his throat cut.
-The climatic scene of Channard's death has 2 cuts totalling 3s, ie a shot of his head being torn in half and his body spurting blood.
From a different source, additional cuts are described
-The maggot-slicing scene on the bed is heavily cut, all slicing is eliminated.
-All of Tiffany's hallucinations are cut somewhat
-The BBFC then imposed further cuts of 7s for the video release.
-The video version loses 2s of a hand being severed in Channard's hospital visit scene (89:31 PAL). - R2 Collector's Edition Box Set United Kingdom- Anchor Bay Entertainment - No cuts - Unrated version (99:04 PAL).
