BD/UHD Catalogue Titles With Incorrectly Pitched Audio Tracks

[SpacemanDoug]

I've been told several times to make a thread based on the knowledge I acquired over the years regarding audio tracks and their issues on BD/UHD releases. But I couldn't figure out how to format it properly and now I believe I have, I decided to make this thread specifically dedicated to audio tracks on BD/UHD releases that are incorrectly pitched, whether they be remixes or "original" mixes. If it's incorrectly pitched in some form or another it can go here. If one also knows "fixes" to the incorrectly pitched audio tracks, I'll add those too.
