Comments Colors don't seem terribly different, but the biggest issue is the sharpness. There is a slight haze over the PAL edition. Extras and audio are the same and the Region 2 menus are animated. We go for the Region 1 in this case.

 - Gary W. Tooze

As with all Anchor Bay releases of Werner Herzog movies compared here, the US edition is sharper.
