Italy Eagle Pictures 4K Blu-ray

Sources: caps-a-holic (opens in a new tab)

Video Notes:

Italy Eagle Pictures 4K Blu-ray has better compression than StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray, green-ish SC master that restores some blown-out highlights compared to the Sony master, but bad HDR10 compression (details). The 2023 Sony 4K Blu-ray steelbook has different grading and Dolby Vision that some may prefer, good encoding, but heavy DNR for about 15% of the runtime.

Pick your poison between Eagle Pictures or Sony.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray

Sources: slow.pics (opens in a new tab)

Video Notes:

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray has poor encode: Dolby Vision caps

Best Audio:

DVD or LaserDisc for original mix

Audio Notes:

Thanks to the magic of Dolby Stereo encoding the 2.0 mix actually has much better surround activity compared to the 5.1 mix, which feels flat and lifeless. The surround mix is also missing elements (eg @ 0:04:58 the zapping sound doesn't extend to the surrounds on the 5.1 track, same with the flickering sound @ 0:21:46, etc)

(by this comparison)
Original Dolby Stereo: Warner Bros LaserDisc 2.0 vs Warner Bros DVD?

The  (2006 or 2013?) Warner Bros Blu-ray 5.1 is similar but higher in LFE.
The atmos/5.1 on the 4K Blu-ray are a new different mix by the director.

Additional Info:

UK Arrow 4K Blu-ray has more extras compared to US 4K Blu-ray, which removed the Cadiliac Man featurette and shortened the Michael Tronick and Larry Taylor interviews due to rights issues. The 5.1 on the Arrow 4K Blu-ray is louder and worse.
