LD 12646 does indeed have mono surrounds.  I confirmed this by inverting one of the surrounds and playing them together; the result was silence.  The information on LDDb is accurate: it's the 70mm, faithfully transferred by Chace.  Both the 2.0 PCM and AC-3 5.1 sound much more exciting than the anemic tracks found elsewhere on home video.  We're lucky that this one made it through.  Accept no substitutes.

Is the LD 12646 version the same edit as available on DVD/Blu/UHD?
