"There can be only one!"

I think the US and UK versions are the same encode. The US one doesn't have the same special features as the UK one. That caught me out, but I think the transfer is the same more or less everywhere.

slightly off topic how is highlander 3 which is getting a new transfer on the japanese release and highlander endgame which came out in the uk not getting an american release yet?

Beats me, they're both with Lionsgate and they don't seem to care much apart for reissuing them on DVD stateside.

It is the same transfer although the 2.0 track on the non-US releases is preferable over the 5.1 which is the only option on the Lionsgate BD. As mentioned the non-US releases have more extras.

Also, all BDs issued outside of the US is the very same disc (France, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, Japan, Scandinavia, etc etc) so don't bother importing, unless you find it cheaper elsewhere the UK edition should suffice.
