 There are numerous differences between the Criterion Collection DVD and the  DVD released by the Russian Cinema Council (RUSCICO) On the RUSCICO DVD The  scene where Berton is driving on the highway in downtown Tokyo included a B&W  shot which slowly and seamlessly fades into full color. This shot is entirely  in color on the Criterion Collection DVD. The RUSCICO DVD ends part one right  after Kris launches the rocket with Hari in it off the station. The Criterion  Collection DVD ends part one right before the launch scene. There are also  small changes in the subtitles most notably in the opening credits. The  RUSCICO DVD translates a notation about Bachs Choral prelude being used in  the film. On the Criterion Collection DVD this notation is not given  subtitles. The RUSCICO DVD has an optional partially dubbed English language  track. It includes English audio for dialog not subtitled in either version.  There are also some minor changes in the audio itself the Criterion  Collection DVD removes some of the sound reverberation for a few scenes.
