I've got the Italian release from Eagle, English track is 5.1, I imagine it is the same track that Eagle released everywhere else. I can look into it if you want, I haven't opened it yet
Yeah, all Blu-ray releases have had 5.1 audio, all basically the same mix as far as I know. The exception is the Lionsgate/Studio Canal 4K, which only has an Atmos remix (with a noticeable lack of bass and one obvious missing sound effect). The Eagle 4K disc ditched the Atmos in favor of the previous 5.1 track, which is definitely superior. But it is only "original" in that it is not the Atmos.
No Blu-rays have had the original theatrical 2.0 mix. I think the last release to have a 2.0 track was the 2001 special edition DVD.
Back to the LDs: I think the JP track sounds pretty good, but perhaps a bit "tinny." Would be interesting to hear if the US THX one is much different.
