Why did this movie not come with at least a dd 5.1 track? I love this movie, but watching it in dd 2.0 kind of sucks. Anyone know of a 5.1 version anywhere or if they are planning a new version later? thanks

Is there anyway for me to get a copy of this? I'm in the United States. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Well, just make sure you check the audio specs on that Japanese disc if you really want 5.1 sound. I know there was a US dts laser disc released, the only one I've ever seen with dts 2.0(ProLogic-compatible).

Basically, I don't know if there ever was a 5.1 mix made for this movie, it certainly wasn't ever shown theatrically in 5.1 (AFAIK...)

I have the Japanese R2 disc and it has both DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks with optional subs and the video is Anamorphic Widescreen.

There will be a new version released by Criterion early next year which includes a Dolby Digital 5.1 as well as a DTS 5.1 soundtrack.
