It's bizarre how they also fixed some things in the new scan and thus they're more natural and better detailed but then fubard other color aspects amongst many other things. Oh wait that's right that because ti was L'Immagine Ritrovata the same "restoration" house that screwed over the Leone titles, messed up the color of the 4K ABT, 4K Bruce Lee films and many others....
As soon as I saw the caps of the 4Ks with the teal in First Blood and saw their name I said "heck no" and found the original better encoded than US discs German trilogy BD set.
So you have to choose between a bit overprocessed but well balanced for homes vs. better and newer scan with fuabrd color and framing.

No, the early DVDs are LDs ports. The later are already SC remasters.
I didn't get the UHDs because they lacked the original mixes, which can be found on the German regular BD versions.

Yes as SC is the right owner through the Carolco buy. The early DVDs masters predate the buying I think.
As far as I know, the 2.0 on the remasters should be the same, though they are probably doctored by the wizards at SC. They sound unspectacular.
At least with the first three released LD ports, you know you're getting zero SC intereference.
