No detail increase from the Blu-ray, but much less compression artifacts.

Slight increase in detail from 1080p Blu-rays, but much better wide colour gamut use even in an SDR-only encode. Higher frequency detail gets much more room to breathe in the 4K encode.

Caveat: A scream in one scene is missing from both UHD tracks

Proper 4K remaster

Poor AI upscale

Solid compression and original audio

Solid upscale of the original early 2K DI. Much clearer and shows more detail than was muddled up by past flawed filmout-sourced releases. Original uncensored 6.1 audio is also welcome. Only flaw that is not inherent to the original source is the lack of English subtitles.

Top-notch restoration; Engine encoding. The original 4-track stems being included alongside the Dolby Stereo 2.0 are also very welcome.

Caveat: Only includes a 5.1 track instead of 7.1

Worse compression and low-pass filtered video

HDR10 same as the Disney disc, new Dolby Vision layer improves presentation in some aspects, very good extras, original mix maintained.

4K caps. Upscale from the BD with fake grain and horrendously encoded.

caveat: no extras compared to other releases

Capelight is the more substantial release, Paramount does not include any extras

poor encoding and DNR (best is the HD-DVD)

2024 Universal 4K Blu-ray is lazy AI upscaled https://www.reddit.com/r/4kbluray/comments/1e4q2n3/lazy_ai_upscaling_strikes_again_this_time_in_the/

Caveat: lacks original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix

Terrible compression, image completely destroyed and full of blocking, worst of the worst

Italian BD is by far the best encoded of all standard BDs
All 4K releases use the same DNRed master, but the JP has the original 1988 home video audio + English subs for the film itself

DNR applied to filmout of the 2001 HD restoration as opposed to original elements, as a result there is no real detail increase over the Blu

Only 2022 boxset or 2024 VHS packaging has Dolby Vision

Includes highest quality audio from LaserDisc, compression is worse than Capelight but still quite good.

Best compression, but lacks the higher quality LD audio from Arrow.

Very poor compression, no original stereo (includes a downmix of 5.1 instead).

Poor encoding, doesn't include the original 5.1 mix.

Major improvement in detail over previous releases; encode is largely decent with ocassional blocking. Uses the same overprocessed stereo track as previous Blu-rays.

Solid detail improvement over the standard BD, similar grading with the greenish tint removed

good video, some grain and colour issues, heavily filtered audio

DNR, best BD is the 2015 Lionsgate BD

inferior upscale that is oversharpened and overexposed HDR.

Good upscale from 2K source, and better detail retention than any Blu-ray release.
