Whoever has the disc, can you confirm if the soundtrack is 5.1 or 2.0? I see conflicting information around.

I have it, but didn't watch it yet. I will pop it in later today and let you know!

Review on this site:

"The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix takes care of the feature's straightforward execution, with emphasis on dialogue exchanges, which handle with ideal weight and separation, preserving comedic speeds and a comfortable range. Surrounds aren't a priority, but the track provides a few surges of excitement, a few taking full advantage of a circular soundscape, with panning effects and little details enjoyable. Scoring is supportive but unremarkable, sharing encouraging instrumentation with soundtrack selections, which add some low-end heft to the listening experience. Atmospherics are professional, great with group activity and hospital visits."

you are probably a different region though

Lol, except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.

Yes, I saw that but I've also seen other sites saying 2.0 stereo, and since the packaging doesn't state, I thought a person with the disc could confirm.

Japan is Region A, just like the United States.

I have a region free player anyway so that is not an issue, but yes, RCRochester is correct there. Thank you McGarnigal for the confirmation of the 5.1 track.

I just watched the whole blu-ray. It's DTS-HD, but like a lot of 90s comedies there's not much rear channel activity. It was nice for the part where the mobsters shoot at each other in the "smells like fish!" scene

RIP Norm:

Norm Macdonald, whose laconic delivery of sharp and incisive observations made him one of Saturday Night Live‘s most influential and beloved cast members, died today after a nine-year private battle with cancer. He was 61.

Macdonald’s death was announced to Deadline by his management firm Brillstein Entertainment. The comedian’s longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra, who was with him at the time of his death this morning, said Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade but was determined to keep his health struggles private, away from family, friends and fans.

“He was most proud of his comedy,” Hoekstra said. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”

Was coming here to share this. This is one of the few celebrity deaths that actually hit me emotionally. Sometimes there is just nothing better than going down that Norm rabbit hole on YouTube.

A legend to me.

100%. Dirty Work is probably my most watch comedy of all time, and Hitler's Dog is probably my most watched stand up special of all time. This one is tough.

I had my Blu ray copy signed by Artie Lange, never thought Artie would outlive Norm. ��
