Theatrical: Germany 4K Blu-ray/US Blu-ray DD 5.1 (1979 mix)

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray has poor encode: Dolby Vision caps
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)
Small role · Director: Gary Ross
