It depends. As I mentioned before there were some extra sound effects added to the 2002 enhanced version and some of these sound effects were added to the DVD of the 1982 version. I was hoping this would be corrected on the Blu Ray version. Since I don't have a Blu Ray player I bought the DVD version which has the print used on the BD. Except for the radio static I mentioned eariler the new sound effects still remain. One thing I also noticed on this version was in the scene where they take off at the end to escape the police there's a peculiar transition in audio during the close up shot of the cop raising the rifle. It almost sounds like mono but cuts back to stereo when it cuts to Elliot closing his eyes. Was there a cut and paste job done here when they were restoring the original footage? It didn't sound this way on the 2002 DVD of the 82 version. So in answer to your question it depends. On DVDs of the 82 version in the scene where the mom and Michael are arguing about his costume he goes 'Please?' and she goes 'No that is final. You're not going as a terrorist' and he responds 'All the guys are'. However none of the VHS editions I've seen have the terrorist line. I guess we can all say there's been alterations done to all the mixes of the film.
