As usual this edges the horrible 5.1 remix (with missing sounds!). Awesome thanks.

The same shot, though this frame taken from a DVD edition of PREDATOR 2 which looks entirely different from Mark's original 35mm frame clip shown above.  Shows how transfers can vary from medium to medium.

This is a perfect example of why studios should ALWAYS include the original sound mixes on their Blu-Ray/4k UHD/VOD releases!!

from what i read online, Predator 2 got a 70mm Engagement with 6 Channel sound, i wonder if the mixes on the 4K UHD/Blu-Ray/DVD is an untouched version, or a watered down HT mix.
