If it is by the same studio both here and abroad, there will most likely be very little difference (ex - Narnia is PCM 5.1 here and Japan it is TrueHD 5.1) if any at all. Most likely the only difference will be the language and subtitles.

If it is by a different studio, then you will most likely have a difference in Extras, Audio/Video, etc (not always).

Just because it is a US release, does not mean it's the best version. The Japan (Sony) and French (Pathe-Fox) Transporters are far better than the Fox domestic version.
