Notes
After seeing the remuxes only with a 5.1 remix, I've decided to do a remux with the original Dolby Stereo mix from the DVD. The 5.1 Remixes misses part of the score (check sample 1), and it's more muffled, the Dolby Stereo is much more punchier. To accommodate the track, I've changed the video fps to 23.976, also the 5.1 remix on the Universal EUR Blu-ray doesn't have a bad loop on a certain fade out that Kino UHD (and its new 4k remaster Blu-ray has), so it was included. The FRA one was discarded, even though they did use the stereo mix for upmixing, they've botched it, and it sounds horrible, even worse than the 5.1 remixes previously done. Both 5.1 Remixes on USA UHD and EUR Blu-ray are the same minus the bad looping of KL and its dithering. Needless to say, the 2.0 on the KL is a downmix of the 5.1 remix. Commentary by the director was the same for both NTSC DVD and FRA BD, the best ones, I went with the FRA one. Also I did a new sync for the Stereo, has the previous encodes and all the remuxes uses one with a silence in between a music cue, when it should've been afterwards, and best a loop for that one, which can be heard on sample 2, and also hear the botched loop of KL UHD audio (it's the stereo mix but it's same for the 5.1 one). OCR'd the English SDH PGS from UHD, as the one on itunes and on EUR Blu-ray has many wrong translations, and maded a regular from it too.
