hmm,,,the only other difference i can see is the R2 is Widescreen 16:9 Anamorphic and the r1 is Widescreen 2.35:1.. whats the difference? and does anyone know what all them extras do on the R1.. ;0) cheers again foryour time chaps.....Chivalry

UK disc is 2.35:1 widescreen as well (EiV always mislabel their discs)

so whar aboutthe extras?? any difference?? is it worth payin more the R1 ?

Unmentioned on the box for both R1 and R2 is the commentary which is accessable through the Audio menu.

I also think the R1 version has an isolated score.

The american disc has a short featurette about the different tribes of Vampires in the film, that the British doesnt. But hey, I have R2 ,and its great. Great picture, sounds and the extras are fine.

If you ever wish to compare DVDs, check out this site before buying:

I have the R2 copy which is very good - but I`ve heard that the R1 version has a 5 minute longer running time.

This could be because of cuts, or it could also be due to the PAL speedup of 4%.

The extras are very good on the R2 disc, and the PAL picture is slightly sharper than an NTSC one, but if you want to make sure it is definitly uncut, go for R1.

Then again, you could probably pick up a copy of the R2 version for under a tenner from most highstreet stores, which might be a contributing factor...

Oops, you`ve already mentioned that. I`d go for the R2 version then - 8 quid is decent deal.
