Small role · Director: Frank Oz

Best English-Friendly & Video:

Warner Bros 4K Blu-ray

Best Audio:

Theatrical Cut: Warner Bros 4K Blu-ray

Director's Cut: Warner Bros Blu-ray

Audio Notes:

The 4K Blu-ray has both a poor Dolby Atmos remix and the original theatrical Dolby Stereo mix in its best fidelity but only for the Theatrical Cut.

The Blu-ray has a 5.1 remix for the Director's Cut that, while inferior to the original theatrical Dolby Stereo mix, is still far superior to the Dolby Atmos remix on the 4K Blu-ray, and is the best option for the Director's Cut.

Only the DVD has the isolated score.

Video Notes:

Dolby Stereo mix: WB LaserDisc PCM

Original Mix in 5.1 Discrete: 1997 WB DVD, 1.33:1 version for this track uncut

Original mix in 2005 5.1 new transfer: 2005 WB DVD in Dolby and DTS, 2008 WB Blu-ray for TrueHD.

Additional Info:

Original mix on VHS, LaserDisc and DVD is significantly warmer and more impactful sounding. These nuances are lost on the 2005 remaster audio found on DVD and Blu-ray which due have a tinge of extra clarity in contrast.

The Atmos mix is excruciatingly bad as it removes original sound effects and wrecks the original sound design. Music is prioritized and dominates in a bad way. The sound library effects used to create a specific sound signature as part of the mix of time period production design is completely lost. Fidelity is also lowered due to noise reduction and processing.
