I’m surprised how good the mono is on the enforcer . Some decent dynamic range in the gun battles . Subwoofer got a bit of use too. Didn’t need a 5.1 mix

Yeah, I love how the ending scene in San Quentin sounds in mono. From doing these first 3 and listening to both mono and 5.1 at the same time, the most damning 5.1 mix is Magnum Force in my opinion. The sound effect they added when Charlie McCoy is shot in the head is so laughably bad. It sounds like he was shot with a paint ball. Also aside from the 44 Magnum sounds they kept, all the new gunshot sounds are so bland in comparison to the mono ones. The Magnum Force mono is so raw and rough around the edges, it fits with the cheaply-made movie so well. I prefer the Dirty Harry mono any day of the week, but I’ll be honest, its 5.1 doesn’t sound too bad with a good sound system (soundtrack especially), I just wish they kept the sound effects the same.
