UK issue of Die Hard

[JBL4645]

I’ve seen Die Hard projected at least 3 times in three different type of cinema auditorium, in Dolby stereo type A.

The later edition THX AC-3 laserdisc had virtually an identical Dolby stereo mix. When the region 2 DVD came about the mix had virtually been changed from original theatrical Dolby stereo mix.

One such scene where Hans is pointing John’s gun at him, “give me my detonators now” when John refuses and Hans pulls on the trigger (the clicking is sounded in the centre now) it should be on screen right speaker as it was original heard back in 1988.

Yeah all I can say is be wary of some re-mixes because there slyer than ever today, or you could demand your money back and by the THX AC-3 laserdisc. I wish I never sold mine off.

So I’m naturally cautious at just lashing out at every Bluray title on sight, despite high definition. If ether the sound or picture is botched Fox can keep it. I’ve spent enough on Die Hard over the years, must be at least £132.00 VHS tape rental, VHS widescreen, laserdisc THX, DVD, DVD SE…No more. Enough is enough.
