Mad Max 2 4K and Mad Max 3 4K - Recall in Aus?

The new discs have lossless encoding for all the English audio tracks. Also apparently the US reissued box set has a new disc for Beyond Thunderdome with the legacy mixes re-encoded in the same manner, so whether we'll eventually get that disc here in a restock is anyone's guess. I'm thinking I'll hold off for a while and try my luck down the line on that one.

Still nowhere near as confusing as all the different local BD releases of MM2

And none of them have the extended Pappagallo speech from the VHS.

That sucks.

I'll be hanging onto my ancient Australian WB VHS release. Had it back in 1989, then replaced it with the 1992 reissue - with an image of Max from Thunderdome on the front cover - and no original WB logo at the start this time.

Why is it the classics always seem to have something holding them back from being their best on home video? It's always some sort of screw-up, yet sh*t like JAWS 2 gets through with no digital manipulation and original audio.

Not just that, apparently it also has some rather nasty DNR on all the optical transition shots. So it goes from filmic to waxworks and back a lot
