> European/Australia StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray (better encoding on Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray)

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray review / caps and packaging impressions by Kyle15.

For Blu-ray, Germany Plaion > US Lionsgate https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=14167&d2=14170&s1=144509&s2=144555&i=7&l=1

Italy or Japan Blu-ray should also have a better encoding than Lionsgate. Italy vs US caps

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray see caps-a-holic, has good new master but as usual poorly encoded with macro blocking and chroma noise which is just as horrible. See also cap 4. Their Blu-ray looks much better in the above shot and is more consistently grainy.

International Blu-rays have different color grading and worse encoding than US Paramount release see caps

Carlito’s Way was released theatrically in both Dolby Stereo and DTS. The 2.0 on the Arrow UHD is the original stereo mix, unknown if the 5.1 mix on the  Arrow disc is the original DTS mix.
