5.1 remix: MGM Blu-ray
Arrow fixed the audio glitches found on Kino Lorber's disc.
The 5.1 remix on Arrow's disc sounds terribly tinny.

Theatrical Cut with unaltered sculpture: Initial DVD
Altered Cut: Shout Factory 4K Blu-ray
Theatrical Cut with unaltered sculpture: Initial DVD with this red message: "The large white sculpture of human forms on the wall of John Milton's penthouse in "The Devil's Advocate" is not connected in any way and was not endorsed by the sculptor Frederick Hart or the Washington National Cathedral, joint copyright owners of the Cathedral sculpture "Ex Nihilo" in Washington D.C.".
Altered Cut: Shout Factory 4K Blu-ray see caps
, Shout Factory 4K Blu-ray is more filtered than Warner Bros Blu-ray, although differences may not be audible.
(While the LaserDisc 2.0 is reportedly better clarity in dialogue?)
DV Plot. For those curious, the sculpture is still the altered one found on the re-issued DVDs, and previous Blu-ray.
5.1 audio on the Shout (either be 1080p or 2160p) was 16-bit, with more roll-off than the Warners one, the Warners was very similar to the NTSC and in terms of balance of the mix, while the Shout seems to be tinkered with, with the score at the beginning and at the end sounding worse on Shout.
Audio Comparisons: Slow.pics
For the regular commentary found on the NTSC DVD "Original Version" (there's no difference including the other NTSC DVD), Shout or Warners; the Shout commentary was just a bloated lossy transcode with some EQ. The best one was from either of the two DVDs.
Commentary Comparisons: Slow.pics
Now there's another commentary; it's basically the same commentary but has some parts different than the others, it can be found on EUR PAL DVD with subs for said commentary. The subs for it doesn't sync for the commentary #1 and vice-versa. Samples
