That said, does the Koch also have the original 2.0 English audio, like the Shout? Remember that the modern remixed 5.1 is faulty, with echoy effects, probably from poorly separating the elements.

It has the 5.1 in 24-bit master audio, and the 2.0 in both 16-bit master audio and compressed Dolby Digital.

The 2.0 DD track is the Frank Oz commentary.

That makes way more sense—thanks for clarifying.

So... out of the options... the Koch is the way to go. Thank you guys!

In fairness the Shout looks pretty great, it's not the DNR-fest waxworks show that their Downfall disc was, for example.

Or Platoon for that matter...

I couldn't resist the $12.99 price so I finally double dipped this one and I'm so glad I did. The new scan is lovely and the original (I think) 2.0 audio sounds great. A true classic that never gets old for me.

Anyone know if the Koch release will play on Region A Panasonic UB820s with the Top Menu trick?

I have Stargate digibook and The Alamo digibook both Koch releases and it worked with the top menu trick. I'll just say maybe. Sometimes the machine can't get around the lock.

For anyone interested (and near NYC) they're having a screening with Frank Oz and Steve Martin - https://movingimage.org/event/dirty-...els-oz-martin/
