Universal 4K Blu-ray 25th Anniversary Edition
Universal 4K Blu-ray 25th Anniversary Edition (with Dolby Vision), comparisons: #1, #2
The 2026 re-release corrects cropping and grading on some VFX shots, otherwise it's the same master with better encoding.
The old BD (2009 with many later identical re-releases) is very good, compared even to the theatrical DTS track, over which it has a slight edge thanks to discrete LFE (as theatrical DTS tracks derive LFE from other channels).
The 2018 4K includes a relatively tasteful DTS:X remix, the 2026 #4K includes a more revisionistic Dolby Atmos remix, with more added foley effects and a significant frequency roll-off. Neither of the remixes is as punchy as the original mix.
Director: Justin Lin

1997? Signature Collection LD
Good: 2017 Arrow and 2016 Shout! Factory Blu-ray have the original audio options.
the only track on Universal 4K, which is in DTS:X, has a mixing error of around 6dB too low on side channels, otherwise very similar to other 5.1 mixes.
Director: James Whale
