The flashes are the same on my mono VHS from the 1980s.John Morgan said:When they are getting ready for the big race to start, there are a few shots of those old flash cameras going off, but you hardly hear the sound at all. I seem to remember it being more upfront. What leads me to think I am correct, is an earlier scene when Lemmon and Falk are about to embark on that device on the train track, the flash sounds are upfront. What makes me doubt myself is the foreign version soundtracks seem to have the muted sound, but I still think maybe they had the separated tracks and when remixing for 5.1 sound, somehow that particular track didn't get enough volume. Does anyone still have an old tape from an old tv broadcast to check?
