Korean DVD -- is it worth getting?

Okay, so I was an idiot and missed up on the chance to get an OOP Anchor Bay DVD of this film for a little over ten dollars... But I have noticed that there are multiple copies of the film available very cheaply that are Korean DVDs.

However, the runtime of the Korean DVDs is 122 minutes. The longest cut of the film (French, which is on the OOP Anchor Bay DVD) is 127 minutes. I am very angry at the thought that I missed up on the chance to get the complete, uncut version of the film, which I assume is the 127 minute version.

Can anyone tell me if the Korean DVD of this is worth buying? Or what is missing in the 122-minute version? Thanks.

Personally I would get the Region 2 Second Sight DVD that came out recently. Korean releases are pretty good quality though, and my Second Sight disc is listed as 119 mins and is, as far as I know, completely uncut. It's the same as the Anchor Bay 122 minute cut, but with the 4% PAL Speed up. I'm not sure if there is a 127 minute version.

Do you have a link to the Korean version? I'd like to see it.

Yes, all this is very confusing.
The french DVD run time (PAL) is 127 minutes.
The directors cut (PAL) is 123 minutes.

As above poster, the version on my DVD says its 119 minutes (PAL)

Now I too am concerned that I am missing something!
