The colours on the R4 are a lot stronger. It looks much better.

r4 looks to me more softer, the korean version is more sharper in my eyes. Also i prefer the colour balance in korean rather than Madman version. To me Korean version wins out... (and I have it). The Korean version is a port of the japanese version I seem to recall.

R4 is identical to the R2uk and R2fr, ie a heavily contrast boosted, colour manipulated transfer that does not accurately reflect the proper look of the film - whereas the r2j, r3k and I believe the r3thai all do. All Kitano's films pre-Dolls suffer from similar problems on R4.

R4 looks awful.
R3K and R3thai should both be ports of the R2J. I've got the R2J, Jompis has the Thai disc. I'm too lazy to do caps as I'm 99,9% sure they're identical to R3K. But if someone wants/needs them, then I'll do them.

The Korean definately offers the better image option.

Korean discs even has better subs.
Why do the comparison by the way, we already knew it was the same as other PAL releases.

Not everyone is all-knowing, Lourdes.
I can confirm that the french release is like the R4.
Blurry picture, wrong colour scheme.

Omnipotence is a burden sometimes.
