Though I had read a difference in running times (by about 4 minutes) my internet research yielded little info on if anything had actually been changed.
Well, it has. Actually the 'original' English release had shortened and lengthened scenes scattered throughout the film. The new master apparently restored all the cut stuff but of course it would be very time consuming to go through each scene, find out what had been changed and make up audio for the gaps. Not something I look forward to.

Curious: Why don't you just buy the Madman Australian release which comes with the original dub and the new dub on the same disc in widescreen?
