More from the same guy on the forum
Quote:Ooooh, there are still differences with the audio in the unrated Murphy death scene between the separate audio options on the disc. When they blow the rest of Murphy's arm off and then start pumping more rounds into him, on the 2.0 and 5.1 he starts screaming a fraction earlier which then 'breaks' and another scream starts when it cuts to Lewis, but on the 4.0 mix he starts screaming a bit later which carries over onto the shot of Lewis and continues into the next shot of the firing squad, whereas when it cuts back to them on the 2.0 and 5.1 we hear the agonised 'ooh' 'ahh' screams from Murphy, which are then repeated several times. But because the 4.0 starts those 'ooh's and 'ahh's later then there's less repetition of them in that mix. A few seconds later, when Lewis comes down the stairs and looks through the chain link at the goons, Murphy's screaming is differently edited: on the 2.0 and 5.1 he screams continously while on the 4.0 the scream tails off and then he starts again.
A word(s) about the video encoding on the Arrow: this is the same underlying 4K master (unrated footage aside) as the previous 2014 Blu-ray, right, but the grain is defined even betterer on the Fidelity in Motion™ encode than it is on the Fox/MGM disc, and not in a harshly 'digital' looking way like on Shout's newest Big Trouble in Little China vs the Arrow. No, on the RoboArrow the grain looks beautiful and bountiful and sharp but natural with it. I've gotta say, I would still buy a 4K UHD in a heartbeat but if we never got an actual 4K release then I'd be fine with that, as this Arrow edition is the best possible representation of the film in 1080p SDR you're ever gonna see.
