Britain Arrow 4K Blu-ray has more extras compared to US 4K Blu-ray, which removed the Cadiliac Man featurette and shortened the Michael Tronick and Larry Taylor interviews due to rights issues. The 5.1 on the Arrow 4K Blu-ray is louder and worse.

4K Blu-ray has Atmos remixes with new effects and changes. The original matrix surround track is better mixed than the 5.1 discrete with more surround and low end engagement amazingly. It also hides the extensive ADR a bit due to the inherent quality dip comparing matrix to discrete formats.
