Rocky (1976)

On the "newly restored" blu-ray: The 5.1 mix has no NR and much better overall fidelity, but it is a poor remix. It's unbalanced, with lots of new added foley, and it was subjected to some downright silly choices like adding reverb to the voices in the parking lot ~27 minutes in. I prefer the lossy mono track also provided on the disc, even despite its heavy filtering.

  1. Do you know which home video releases have the best original audio tracks for the Rocky films?
    I know Rocky I was in mono, II - V were in Dolby Stereo, and VI was in Dolby Digital/DTS/SDDS 5.1.
