The R2 version was released with a Criterion label on it due to the licensing agreement between Criterion and BV for Armageddon. This agreement allowed Criterion to have an exclusive R1 release on the condition that BV could have wouldwide (excluding. US) rights to the Criterion extras and master.
The relationship between Criterion and BV is now believed to have been terminated.
