1- The "Extended" version simply replaces the opening with the alternate opening.
2- The alternate opening has a runtime of 7 minutes on this release as opposed to the Special Edition DVD's runtime of 4 minutes but the extra content does not differ from the theatrical version so it is unclear why the extra time was added on this release.
3- This feature appears under the Banzai Institute Archives on this release.
4- Although no "Extended Version" option is available, you can select to play the Alternate Opening with the film which is essentially the extended version.
5- This is simply the end credits footage without the on-screen credits.
6- Named "Jet Car Concept" on this release.
7- You need a special NUON Enhanced DVD player to view these features. You can also view them here.
