bond blu ray changes

schaduwoog

Its not as bad as the star wars videos but did anyone else notice some differences in the blu rays?

In YOLT we hear a woosh sound in the gunbarrel scene when it shows the space ship and just after the subway scene we hear a wolf when bond and tanaka are walking.

In DAF the cat scream in the beginning of the titles is a liile different.

Any more?

You can hear that whoosh sound in the UE of YOLT. Would've thought it was deliberate

TWINE - the subtitles don't come up telling us what Elektra is saying when she saves the church in azerbaijan. They did on the Ultimate Edition though

It probably is delibarete, but why?

i've found an article which might explain it

A strange noise is heard in the background as Bond walks across the lawn towards Tanaka’s house in You Only Live Twice. Is it a bird, a coyote, a werewolf?!? Who knows? It wasn’t in the original mix. Presumably this same sound engineer thought it was also a good idea to add a ‘whoosh’ sound effect to the end of the gunbarrel as it opens out onto the US spaceship in the same film. Why? No other film had or has ever had this sound effect.

The quote i have listed is from this article

Some of the gunshots in the gunbarrel logos sound more echoey than I remember. It sounded like they'd been remixed.
Also, Wint & Kidd's explosion of the helicopter near the beginning of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER sounds more pronounced.
I'd assumed they'd all just had a good audio clean-up.

I thought it was the sound engineer trying something new which hadn't worked

Thnx for the reactions. And thnx for the article hehadlotsofguts.

Some of the scenes have been "color corrected" -- this article describes that work and others: http://www.007magazine.co.uk/bond50_review.htm.

Edit: Oops, I should have read that someone already posted a link.

I just listened to the cat scream from DAF... only one thing I can say for the remix is- That's most annoying.

The sound design in the mono original is highly effective - the rising agitation in the cat's meow, the pause, the orchestral brass stab, cue title track. The 're-mix' version messes it up ...wrong pussy!
