Chinatown (1974)

Mono: 

1991 Paramount LaserDisc [LV 8674-2WS]: Excellent.

1999 R1 Paramount DVD: Muffled.

2009 R1 Paramount DVD: The 2.0 here is a stereo downmix of the 5.1.

2012 Paramount Blu-ray: Identical to the 1999 DVD, but lossless.

2024 Paramount UHD Blu-ray: Identical to the 1999 DVD.

The 5.1 has quite a bit of added Foley - whenever a gun is fired and just about every time Nicholson is in a car. The music is also just too loud in the mix.






5/31/2025: Added the Paramount UHD
