The extra material consists of everything that is visually unique to the European version, incorporated into the extended cut.

I have no doubt that the audio mix is crappy, its dubbed in German afterall, but I imagine quite a bit of soundtrack tweaking would be necessary to accommodate all the various insertions and extentions. And while Anchor Bay have given us the greatest sources available yet, it'd still require some colour correction to effectively integrate the two prints together as their appearances do vary slightly. But, oh man, would it ever be worth it...

Anyway, I've been enjoying the contents of disc 2 and its a definite winner. I'd like to thank all the contributors as well as meedermow for making it happen.
