Hi, I’m sorry I’m a complete newbie but I was wondering if someone knowledgable could help me. I’m confused on differences between the 1984 American LD releases (I’ll just refer to them as singular for simplicity’s sake) and the 1992 American LD release. Besides aspect ratios and credit changes, I know of 2 things that are different:

  1. Marion’s Bar being color-corrected to more warm tones. Definitely makes sense for a candle-lit cabin with a huge fire.

  2. Different audio mixes

Now number 2 is where I’m confused. I’ve seen people say “The laserdisc mix is different” but not which LD release as to my knowledge the 1984 and 1992 LDs use totally different mixes. Do any of them use a theatrical mix? I thought the 1992 one has its own exclusive remix but does the 1984 one use the theatrical Dolby track or anything? I also heard people say that the staff dropping sound effect is different for one of the LD mixes but the Widescreen LD I have has the same sound I remember, although I can’t directly compare it with a modern release ATM.

P.S. MySpleen Invite would be super appreciated but I’m mainly curious on the question above.
