They may be region free. Since caps-a-holic stopped checking the regions I have no way to confirm.

Why no best pq tag for Shout's Army of Darkness, at least on the Theatrical & Euro cuts since they did replacement discs? Even the Directors cut looks best.
& is it the color controversy that makes you give Arrow's Dressed to Kill best pq over CC, or does that just need updating? CC is clearly better, and when I took another go at re-calibrating my magenta, cyan & blue levels with my calibration discs, the CC doesn't look green at all.

What about John Carpenter's Vampires? The French and German blu-ray are listed in the archive thread but not here with the French version as best picture. What about the US Twilight version?

The Twilight version has the best PQ so it is not on the list.

Army of Darkness is in the list because there are exclusive extras not found on the Shout release. Not sure on Dressed to Kill.

The AT (Austria) release of Swamp Thing has the Barbeaubies. (International cut)

The DE disc of The Big Hit seems to have better compression even with same codec and similar bitrare as US disc. DE also get more picture in each frame which is nice.

I took a look at the Japanese blu ray of "Texas Chainsaw 3D" today and it's definitely the uncut, uncensored version, not the R rated theatrical version. I went to the Movie Censorship site just to make sure. It's still only 2d on the blu ray, but it does look pretty nice all the same. Could you update that.

You have any bitrates or specs for the JP disc? Would be interesting to know if I should hunt down the french or JP disc. 2D is fine!
