WB 4K Blu-ray but has MAJOR Color Timing issues. All cold blues are rendered teal. WB Blu-ray despite issues is a purist visual option in this regard.
Dolby Stereo SR: WB LaserDisc PCM
Dolby Digital 5.1: 1997 DVD
2005 5.1 new transfer: WB DVD in Dolby and DTS, 2008 Blu-ray in TrueHD
First ever Dolby Digital 5.1 wide release film. 4K Blu-ray has new Atmos remix which replaces original sound effects and prioritizes music and bombast. A terrible audio experience to be avoided. 1997 WB DVD has open matte version on flipper disc. VHS also is open matte.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray has poor encode: Dolby Vision caps
DVD or LaserDisc for original mix Thanks to the magic of Dolby Stereo encoding the 2.0 mix actually has much better surround activity compared to the 5.1 mix, which feels flat and lifeless. The surround mix is also missing elements (eg @ 0:04:58 the zapping sound doesn't extend to the surrounds on the 5.1 track, same with the flickering sound @ 0:21:46, etc)
