Could anyone who owns the UK R2 version of Conan the Destroyer (distributed by Castle?) confirm the aspect ratio for me?
It's advertised on more than one website as 1.78:1 (i.e. 16:9), but the R1 version (and I believe the theatrical presentation) is 2.35:1. Has this film been cropped for the UK?
Also, the sound is described as mono, however I've read one review which suggested it was 5.1. If the review was correct, has the mono track been digitally processed to derive 5 channels, or is this a proper multi-channel re-mix from the original elements?
Any advice on whether to go for this, or the US R1 version would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
