[Help] The Fifth Element (1997) - Original Sound Mix

[izzybell]

What's happening forum. Usually for these type of things I would conduct my own research but this film has so many disc releases with very similar specs I would really prefer to not waste my disk space and time sifting through them.

I am trying to find the original 5.1 mix for The Fifth Element and so far I've narrowed down the following discs as possibly having it:

1. Laserdisc AC-3
2. Superbit DVD DTS
3. Original/First Remastered Blu-Ray LPCM

I'm tempted to sync the Laserdisc AC-3 and call it a day since that is undoubtedly the most possible candidate due to trends with other AC-3 discs and proximity to release but the possibility of a higher quality lossy or lossless source being available is an enticing one. If anyone of you guys have looked into this yourselves and/or have tips for spotting Theatrical digital surround mixes, let me know. Cheers!

I own them all and would just use the LD ac-3 it is the closest to the printmaster\cinema experience.

The LD

Off-site group did more research. The BD PCM is the same mix as the LD so it is the definitive "original" mix. The Superbit DTS was also the same mix as the LD.
