Additional Info

The UK cinema version is the most complete version of the film to date, featuring additional scenes of violence. Additional footage includes:

  • louder impact sounds during the fight scenes with added bass, particularly during the alley fight (the impact sounds are much tamer on all video and DVD releases)

  • the use of nunchaku during the closing fight on the castle (the fight sequence now has no footage of nunchaku)

  • an elbow-lock move performed during the above fight (this is now cut from all versions) It is assumed that this version is the cut of the film made before trims were made to it for the MPAA to secure a PG-13 rating.

The UK theatrical cut has not been released on home video to date.

Best Audio:

DC: 2007 WB Blu-ray, Arrow is from a lossy transcode

From CiNEPHiLES:
Well I did see the issue from the arrow track being just a transcode of the previous ac3 DVD or Blu-ray, with dynamic range compression, wasn’t clear at the time because usually, all do comparisons from the tracks without said settings (drc_scale 0), but with default from ffmpeg does get about the same as arrow. I guess was tricked due to the lower gains and change of dynamic range which also the MA has, seems all derived from a DRC’d ac3 supplied by Warners to Arrow, maybe not really a near field mix. So removed the redundant track and only the previous one as default as it was, with named changed to surround mix. I had this done a week ago, but I didn’t know if it was worth of repack because the main audio is good, and it would’ve hurt the swarm, but alas here it is.
