Yeah, but why would there be two different 4.1 mixes? I imagine one 2.0 can be a downmix of 5.1, the other - original 35mm stereo, or yet another downmix. But two different 4.1? Makes no sense to me.

According to the booklet that came with the Arrow, they definitively state the 4.1 mix is the 70mm mix, but when it comes to the 2.0 mix they're silent - just that it was supplied by Universal. It makes you wonder if even they know.

I think it's fair to say at this point that the only 2.0 track that we can be sure is the original is the Widescreen LD.

The Signature is a fold-down of the remixed 5.1, though. A hybrid might get closer to the original, but still not the real deal.

Ok, so we're back to trying to figure out if any of the BDs have the original 2.0 then.
