The sound is wrong on almost all the bond blurays / 4k releases before tmnd
Aside from the overdone remixes all of the mono mixes are compressed and noised reduced so badly it sounds like am radio . The only one they somewhat got right was the original mix for spy who loved me at 448kps. No noise reduction has been applied and you can hear bass during the fight scenes on the rooftop unlike the 5.1 hopefully they’ll include the original mixes uncompressed on 4k blu

I honestly didn’t notice much difference with the ld audio and the dts on that one.

Naked gun has never been released with its original mono aside from ld/vhs

I watched a sample from a view to a kill iTunes 4k and noticed quite a bit of cropping was done on the bluray . The framing and overall pq on the 4k version is much better Unfortunately it has the same crappy remix as the blurays with all the bass taken out.
I didn’t notice a huge difference in pq on living daylights, dr no or her ohmss tho haven’t seen goldeneye version but I imagine it’s a lot better

Every which way but loose
Any which way you can
They completly butchered the whole thing . It doesn’t sound like a movie made in the 70s anymore

Thought it would be a misprint but a reviewer of the newer 5.1 disc said the old version was stereo so guess laserdisc is the only way to go

one flew over the cukoo’s nest has a bunch of added foley and a 5.1 mix.
not sure if the old flipper DVD has the original mono.

The original audio is on the scarface bluray but compressed I imagine the laserdisc sounds better

If the audio sounds better than the mono on the bluray I’d like to hear it. The bluray version is compressed with heavy noise reduction.

I know this is an old thread but does anyone still have the audio track anywhere?
thanks !

Watched a bit of heartbreak ridge even tho its originally stereo I can tell Addional effects were put in for the 5.1

Surprised they added new effects thought it would be the same since it was originally Dolby . Makes me wonder if the rest of the Clint Eastwood stereo movies like the gauntlet were tinkered with. Ah well

I saw it in it the theater and it looked exactly like the DVD n bluray

does the laserdisc sound any better than the bluray 5.1 ?

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

just noticed after hearing the mono version they also took out a yell in the 5.1 remix when scorpio gets kicked by the black guy

mandela effect

So, are the ARROW and Shout Blu-ray disc releases for THE THING fine regarding the original audio tracks?

if it was they would have changed the SFX of el capitan and his pop gun.

very cool. is the LD audio avail anywhere for this?

Best bet would to rip them in flac 1.0

is there a site to convert the mega.nz links to audio ? the files are a bit too big

Apparently changes were made to Magnum Force

No they made the gun sound like his Magnum even though he was not shooting his magnum.

How many differences are there anyway. missing music in the park what else?

They may have changed the sound of that .38 in airplane scene (and I don’t mind, because I always thought it as a mistake, not a creative decision), but what puzzles me is that they changed the sound at the end of opening titles, after the “do you feel lucky” line. I clearly remember it being the trademark .44 Magnum sound before Blu ray came along.

somebody on youtube said any gun in the hands of Callahan becomes a 44 magnum. sounds bs but kind of interesting theory though
would like to see that sound replaced if anyone does a LD rip of the audio.

have been going back and forth on the Spanish mono tracks on SERPICO and noticed that the English mono is another 5.1 mixdown w altered sfx . Same I think goes with Marathon Man I don’t have the audio to compare for that one. Not sure why they even bothered w 5.1 mixes for these movies.
