Basic Instinct (1992) - 2.0 Surround

[wongfeihung]

Did anyone find an original theatrical track for the Unrated Cut, specifically one that syncs up to the UHD?

According to Rewind...
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=1673

these two editions:
R1 America - Lions Gate Home Entertainment - Ultimate Edition
and
R1 America - Artisan - Unrated - Special Edition
contain English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, presumably taken from the four-track Dolby Stereo SR mix.

Didn't know there was a 5.1 theatrical mix, but if this LC-Concept Digital Sound was produced in France one would assume it only applies to the French dub, no?

Wasn't this a CDS mix?

L.C. Concept. The short lived sound format which was capable of 5.1 sound. It was buried by DTS.

I haven't seen any evidence there was a CDS mix.

According to wikipedia it was adopted in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. So yeah possibly, but there could have been showings in English too. It would be good to know if the 5.0 or 5.1 tracks are based on this mix. But I think its almost impossible to know now.

The 2.0 surround was also available as PCM on LaserDisc.

The UK LD would be unrated and 2.0 but will have pal speed up

This one seems to be NTSC and Unrated w/ Dolby Surround.

It may have been prepped for CDS but dropped near release, I cannot find any reference to 70mm screenings anywhere.
There are 5.1 AC-3 laserdisc tracks (a JP Squeeze LD and a remastered US theatrical LD), it's possible the mixes were made especially for LD but that wasn't really standard practice at the time, usually it was from an existing multi-track master

I can see it didn't play in the 70mm venue in my fave cinema, it played in the other venues. However I wasn't taking notice of DS vs 5.1 then.

[wongfeihung]

I can't find any reference to Basic Instinct having played anywhere in 70mm.

Since there's no LD rip on the horizon has anyone got a DVD-rip of the UNrated cut with the 2.0 surround track?

I'd like to sync it to the UHD.

Yup, I have the 2.0 track from the unrated DVD. Will PM you.
