Since the main reason I started this thread was the unsatisfying overblown Blu-ray image, I’m very pleased with the current release, even if it might not be perfect either. In total definitely a major upgrade compared to the former DVD and BD releases.

The 96-kHz-release for me is suspicious alone by the fact that it’s very unlikely that this movie was ever recorded at such a sample rate, hence probably just an upsampling for marketing purposes. Besides that, considering the recording qualify (slight distortions) especially of Jean Reno’s voice, I would say that even 44.1 kHz/16 bit is pure waste.

If enough here are interested, I could contribute some soundtracks to be muxed together with the nice 4K-sourced picture.

I got:

2.0 AC3 from the US DVD
5.1 AC3 from the US DVD
5.1 AC3 from the JP DVD
5.1 DTS from the JP DVD
2.0 PCM from the JP LD
