Don't fault Britton for bringing this up. I hear it too and not just in that scene. It's definitely worth mentioning but certainly doesn't ruin the movie. It's only center channel dialogue when people are yelling. On the R1 versions it can be a little abrasive at times but with the Korean version it's crackling.
But the top notch video more than makes up for this little annoyance. I was comparing the Canadian DVD with it tonight and can't believe how much better the Korean is. I knew it looked good when I first played it but comparing the two, it just knocks your socks off. The colors, the detail the brightness are so much better. There is a scene in Jack Rabbit Slims where I can see wrinkles on Travolta's face. This level of detail just can't be seen on either of the R1 releases. It looks like a new movie. Travolta's hair throughout the movie looks much more fake now because of the added detail and the brighter picture. When I first ordered this DVD, I thought the picture would only be improved because of the 16x9 enhancement but this has been totally remastered.
The really nice thing about this is the lack of EE (Edge Enhancement) that's popping up on so many DVD's lately. It wouldn't surprise me if this version turns out to look better than an upcoming R1 SE, whenever that maybe. This, of course, shouldn't happen but you never know.
