Two runs for the DVD?
The 2004 DVD has a good English dubbed track, better English subtitles you can use while you watch it in Japanese, and is an interesting movie before you get to the extras, but the extras take it WAY over interesting to the very, very interesting stage-- how they did some of the stunts-- and not really a spoiler, but some of the obvious if it was American made "wire stunts with CGI cleanup" turn out to be real stunts, no wire, no CGI.
Think of it as a good story, elements borrowed from several other movies, and a good result as a stand alone item.
There is one "spoiler" warning-- about a third of the way in there is a scene that just jars since it is so out of place and makes no sense. Hang on to the end-- it is not out of place, it does fit, and although absurd in context, it is a cute play on the way the viewer watches a movie, too.
AVOID the early 2003 DVD, which may be a infringement copy.
