3:12 Talk about a rarity. One would never expect to see a VHS-pitched THX logo on a DVD of all places. Physical media is so fascinating at times.

It's another Japanese Fox DVDs where it features both the VHS pitch and the p a l c sharp pitch THX deep note Broadway trailers

Is this just the special edition of the film or is there something special about this certain release?

[chavito]

Is there a difference between the Special and Premium editions?

[blazingsoulhunter]

I’m kinda disappointed that even the Japanese release is not anamorphic in film. Why is that?

Ok, this is the same as the European and US "Special Edition". Same shitty 4/3 master, same menus. I bet this is the contents of DVD I saw on a Yodobashi store as I was in Japan in 2019, sold as new.
