The North American 35mm prints of Jurassic Park never had any Dolby Digital tracks on them, despite the appearance of the misleading Dolby triple format logo on the end credits of that later generation print. Numerous movies that were 35mm SR only (or even 35mm A-type only) released between the fall of 1993 and June of 1995 had the Dolby "tri" logo listed on the end credits and other pieces of advertising. It made some movies appear to have Dolby Digital prints available when they really didn't. quote: Victor Liorentas The original print of Forrest Gump I just ran listed D.T.S/SR/SRD on all the leaders but did not have a Dolby Digital track. Separate print inventories for DTS and Dolby Digital were common in 1994. Some of the first "quad format" releases had separate inventories for different digital formats. I remember Die Hard With A Vengeance having a separate run of SDDS prints while other prints were DTS/SRD.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 05-21-2012 12:15 PM                     Yes I know but I don't recall Forrest ever having a Dolby Digital track on any prints? Anyone see a Dolby Digital of it?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I saw plenty of newspaper ads, particularly sites in New York and Los Angeles, advertising such shows.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 05-21-2012 02:21 PM                     I must say the sound mix for the Vietnam segments as well as the whole movie in general stood the test of time.Forrest Gump has one killer sound mix in D.T.S anyway. This city never played it with digital sound before my one off screening the other night. D.T.S was the only digital sound format in London at the time but Forrest played in SR houses only.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 05-21-2012 03:07 PM                     Something interesting I've never compared, but I have the LaserDisc of Gump in AC3, and it is basically silent in the surrounds for most of the film, even the Vietnam battle scenes. It's unfortunate because the rest of the mix sounds pretty great.

I've watched the Bluray and I agree....it just isn't as explosive or immersive as the original DTS.  |  IP: Logged
