U.S. vs U.K. DVD release

I'm a sucker for the special features. Let's have a rundown of which version has which.

Both versions have the "Hatian Divorce" deleted scene.

The U.K. release has an extra deleted scene: "Pele's final game". However the U.S. version has this as a highlight reel as well as 2 other highlight reels (Soccer Bowl '80 & '81) that the U.K release lacks.

The U.K release has a commentary track, the U.S. does not.

The U.S. release has SportsCentury interviews about Pele, the U.K. does not.

and now the one that really gets me....

The U.K release has a featurette called "The Real Hunt for Pele" about Fisher Stevens searching around (in Brazil I assume) trying to find Pele and get him to become part of the documentary, and coming up deuces.

The U.S. release doesn't have this and I would love to see it. Does anyone know if it's posted anywhere on the net (I'm not going to make a bad pun about my own hunt for this featurette or anything)?

Nobody has replied in a couple of.....years, so I thought I'd revive my thread.

I would really like to watch the mini-documentary about Fisher Stevens and his production team trying to find Pele that's on the UK DVD release. If anybody knows where this Yank can find it please let me know!

Thanks.
