Films where Paramount's release is the pick. How picks are made
Paramount 4K Blu-ray
Director: William Friedkin
Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray or Paramount Blu-ray
Both Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray and Paramount Blu-ray are problematic. One reel of the Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray looks inferior, and the Paramount Blu-ray has some edge enhancement. Pick your poison between the Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray or the Paramount Blu-ray? Maybe the Kino Lorber Blu-ray included in the 4K Blu-ray is better
Director: Marc Forster
Shout! Factory 4K Blu-ray or Paramount 4K Blu-ray?
(Shout! Factory has more extras, but only 5.1 audio, Paramount has 7.1, both only have the Theatrical in 4K)

Paramount 4K Blu-ray has DTS-HD 7.1

US Paramount 4K Blu-ray, is the International US Cut and not the Encore Cut
Australia Cut: Laserdisc
The film exists in three versions:
- the original Australian cut (~104 minutes at 24fps/~100 minutes at 25fps);
- the American/international version (~98 minutes at 24fps/~94 minutes at 25fps) trimming some exposition in the Outback first half of the film and some shorter extensions of a few seconds in the New York section, altering some of the dialogue – including censoring a "fuck" to "screw" – but featuring one additional dialogue extension not in the Australian version (a comparison of the two cuts can be found at Movie Censorship);
- the Australian Encore Cut (~95 minutes at 24fps/~91 minutes at 25fps) which uses the international version source so it already has those alterations but also removes approximately three minutes consisting of parts of two scenes featuring Mick grabbing the crotch of a cross-dressing prostitute and a later sequence when he does the same thing at a party to a woman with a deep voice (a comparison of the international version and the Encore Cut can be found at Movie Censorship).
Director: Steve Miner

Paramount 4K Blu-ray

Maybe the included remastered Blu-ray by Shout! Factory is better than both?
