The disc's "Theatrical Version" was originally examined as a 35mm film by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC No. 801847 registered 15 October 2008). It was classified "Objectionable except if the availability of the publication is restricted to persons who have attained the age of 16 years", with the descriptive note: "Contains violence and offensive language". The disc's "Unrated Version" of the feature is around six minutes longer than the theatrical version. The difference in time is difficult to locate over the length of the feature. The additional components on the Blu-ray disc include behind-the-scenes footage (interviews with the cast and crew/set design) and a segment showing the stunts and special effects involved in the production of the feature. The U-Control function during the "Unrated Version" of the feature allows access to additional information, interviews and production footage. These appear regularly as "Picture In Picture" pop-up windows and "Spec Tech" racer leader board information. The disc also includes several warning and distributor notices. The additional material does not change the dominant effect of the film previously examined, nor does it alter the title's original classification.
