No that's pretty much it. It's always possible he mispoke on the commentary track.

The commentary in question dates from the DVD days when the version he was watching at the time of recording would NOT have been 1.85:1. The available DVD versions were either 1.78:1 at best and 1.33:1 at worst. So perhaps he was referring to the 1.85:1 ratio whilst watching either of those.

Or perhaps The Last Seduction was indeed shot scope but, having its roots in television, they settled on the 1.85 ratio and that's become the defacto version. That's as far as my thinking takes me, anyway

I'd have loved to have seen a 2.39:1 version (it seems the new black and white Noir Edition would've been such a great opportunity to introduce that ) but, hey ho, i'll take any 4K UHD version of The Last Seduction I can get at this point. It's all gravy.
