There is only one encode of the film on the disc but it has been authored so that the feature audio options are switchable during playback but each commentary appears to play on a separate titleset so viewers cannot switch back and forth between the two commentaries or between either track and the film’s soundtracks.
A new 2020 4K color grading and restoration of the film from a 4K scan of the original camera negative.
The first pressing with a reversible cover and slipcover, and is available directly from Ronin Flix. -
