And even if there aren't edits in one region, there may be edits in another region. For instance, while the US got a great Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition DVD, the R4 here in Australia lost the mono track, photo booklet and 15 minutes (!) of the 2hr documentary. So after waiting all this time, for no good reason at all, we get a cut version of the documentary. BTW, this is the 2hr doco that was on the Laserdisc.
