Criterion UHD vs BFI UHD (tonemapped): https://slow.pics/c/8Gi6xOuj
Best audio for this title is the mono track from Star Media NOR Blu-ray, included synced from the previous remux. (thanks xwmario!)
Audio comparison: Blah-ray write-up, comparisons and samples (thanks Moshrom!)
Both commentaries sourced from the old discs, as UHDs are lossy.
Unfortunately, the introduction for Stephen Prince's track had to be cut-off to fit this disc.
Trimmed introduction
Hi, I'm Stephen Prince. I'll be talking with you about "e;Yojimbo"e;, and on another disk about "e;Sanjuro"e;, the two films that Kurosawa made about a wandering samurai hero played with great gusto by Toshiro Mifune. In my commentaries on the films, I'll compare them and talk about what Kurosawa wanted to achieve and about their similarities and differences.
Curiously, BFI didn't reuse the translation from their 2010 Blu-ray/earlier DVDs, but borrowed Criterion's translation (edited to use British spelling). All three options were included, with missing periods added to the 2010 BFI track. A brief comparison can be found here.
