Now that you mention that I do recall it having been pointed on the forum in the past--guess it must have been you. ;) Although I have to admit I'm a bit bewildered by it because I have yet to hear any kind of distortion during that scene, although perhaps I simply haven't known what to listen for. The LFE is at a rather low level on the '97 5.1 that I have; if there is distortion in the bass it must be a defect of the recording, though whether it is a degraded source flaw or they messed up in the remix I don't know.

Maybe the distortion actually occurs in the main channels? I'll have to listen to it again more closely, but it is worth noting that the force choke sound effects in the mains have little resemblance to the "wind-like" sound that all the original mixes featured. Hmm . . .
