Added Cannonball Run II (1984); am surprised to find this apparently wasn't originally in Dolby Surround. All available DVDs have mono audio and all BDs have 5.1, with some also having 2.0 stereo – presumably a downmix.
I'd like to draw attention to a post I made in the Sergio Leone Blu-ray thread recently. From this you'll see that including an original mono track on a BD is often a far from simple task. Naturally, not every mono soundtrack that's missing in (HD) action gets a free pass, but I think this does...
Ok, I removed The Breakfast Club from the main list after finding a scan of an original poster featuring the Dolby Stereo logo, but have reinstated it, at least for now. It'd be cool if anyone could weigh in with definitive proof either way!
I'm still happily surprised that substantially...
A cheeky leetle bump. ;)
Is that it? If so, the situation isn't quite as bad as I thought, though it does require hunting down BDs from different territories...
Hmm, interesting... There are numerous secondary sources around citing Kong's overseas Sensurround release, including various film books, though I can't find even a single reference to a primary source.
At this point, I'm willing to lay odds that this info originates from the fact that...
Ah, I suspected this could potentially be a never-ending list... :(
Jim, you're dead right, re KK76. I should've checked first, because I suspected that a mono OST for a major mid-70s action film was a bit of an anomaly. What's more, the BD has a great, dynamic mix and I was a little concerned...
I've nothing whatsoever against a 2.0 stereo or surround remix being created for a film which had a mono original theatrical release soundtrack, as long as both are included on any home video discs. If done from original discrete stems, and definitely not from a mono-only source, the results are...
