I just saw the 103 minute Japanese Extended cut of the film and was BLOWN AWAY at how much better a movie it was! Now I'm proud to actually say that I truly like and enjoy this version of the film and would recommend it to anyone. I also noticed that they worked in a Max Headroom homage when an "Edison Turner" (vice "Carter") reports live from those bejing riots. great stuff!

My one question is:
I've heard of there being a 107 minute cut of the movie. Is this even MORE different than the 103 minute cut? Or is the 103 minute cut just a PAL to NTSC tranfser that shaves off 4 seconds due to frame-speed?
