It is worth noting that the box-set notates "The Terror Beneath the Sea" as a bonus film (because the presentation is limited to the English dubbed version only). The other films in the box-set include the original Japanese language audio. As a result of The Terror Beneath the Sea being listed as a bonus feature, the bonus features score was updated to reflect a numeric value including this bonus film.
