The original mono mix has bad pitch and sound quality issues on the Shout BD and is terrible sounding. The LD pcm mono is very good but sounds a tad muffled in comparison to the MGM 2004 DVD mono at first listen. Yet the DVD mono has the volume of the entire track normalized so that effects and music remain at consistent levels which they don't in the LD mono-meaning that the jokes and gags hit harder in the LD mono because the mix varies as it was intended. It may be that the same source was used and then EQ'd and processed for the DVD boxset as all the mono mixes were messed around with. For example, when the hunchback disguise goes off with the explosions, the DVD mono has everything at a mostly consistent level. On the LD the effects build and fall off in loudness so the intensity is entirely different because they were mixed that way for comedic effect. Another is the piano smashing-on the DVD mono it's at the same level as the rest of the scene. On the LD it's loud and aggressively so which again makes the gag hit so much harder.Again, the remixes are existing MGM ones and not good. The 5.1 remix on the Shout BD does not have pitch issues but the stereo remix does.
