UK 4K Blu-ray has a slightly better encode than US Shout! Factory 4K Blu-ray and Germany StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray
5.1 mix is flawed on Shout! Factory/ICON, a phasey upmix instead of the proper discrete surround. The UHD 2.0 tracks are downmixes of that track.
2008 Fox Blu-ray sounds great, very close to the original 70mm mix, only with split surround.
2001 DVD has the original mix as 4.1 and matrixed 2.0.
Imprint 4K has a 4.0 track. The StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray has a different 5.1, unclear if it's the same as Fox BD.
Director: John Singleton

Criterion 4K Blu-ray
Criterion 4K Blu-ray is better than the earlier Sony 4K Blu-ray, which suffered from low-pass filtering and poor compression. Caps
Original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix: Criterion 4K Blu-ray
A better transfer than the Sony 4K Blu-ray
The Sony 4K Blu-ray includes an earlier 5.1 remix, which is mostly faithful to the original mix and lightly enhances and opens it up, as well as Dolby Atmos remix which is slightly more aggressive.
Criterion's release also includes a different Atmos remix to the one included from Sony, significantly more aggressive than previous releases, going for a more "immersive" feel.

Theatrical Cut: The Shout UHD DTS-HD 2.0
Theatrical Cut: The Shout UHD DTS-HD 2.0 seems to be the same mix overall as the 1992 laserdisc PCM 2.0 but its not a straight port. Even though there are some minor differences, it does not seem to be a downmix of the 5.1. It could possibly be a new mastering. It has just a tiny bit more dynamic range than the laserdisc, but the laserdisc has a bit more presence in the lower and midrange frequencies.
