Yes the US and the International cut have the S-Mart ending.

International cut has jokes and lines that differ from the US but the US is still better IMO.

Only the US version has the S-Mart ending.

Not true, i have all 3 cuts and the International cut has the S-Mart ending.

The US and International versions both had the S-Mart ending. The Director's Cut has the original apocalypse ending and the original Japanese LD was basically the International version with the original apocalypse ending.

The German set is the way to go if you want the most complete package but the French Blu-ray has all three versions as well. Both the French and German BDs have different degrees of DNR and EE on the US version. The only releases that didn't use DNR were the US HD-DVD and the UK Blu-ray.

The transfer used to create the Director's Cut and International Cut looks good overall but the whites are blown out and the overall detail level is lower than that of the transfer used to create the US theatrical versions. I've considered trying to create sort of a hybrid version of the Director's Cut that uses the UK BD for most of the footage and only uses the DC transfer for footage that wasn't in the US theatrical release but the framing is different on both versions which presents it's own problems.
