Description

Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) is a simple man who doesn’t believe in ghosts or magic until he’s swept into a mind-boggling adventure deep within Chinatown’s mysterious underworld. Burton’s pal, Wang Chi (Dennis Dun), is trying to rescue his kidnapped fiancée. Egg Shen (Victor Wong), an enigmatic tour-bus driver seems to know a lot about ancient Chinese magic for a simple tour-bus driver. They do battle with an outlandish array of human and inhuman adversaries under the command of Lo Pan (James Hong), a 2000-year-old evil magician who has the power to transform himself from a wheelchair-bound old man into a seven-foot-tall mystical menace.

    Coke itunes, Do a QA check! Audio is terrible and unbalanced!!! HD is patchy at best like an upscale. Yet I can buy a 4K release on Blu-ray!!

    This is a wonderful film, but it’s like the sound is being played through a water damaged tape recorder. Until this is fixed it is unwatchable.
  • Awful audio

    Absolutely fantastic classic films completely ruined by an audio track that phases all the way through. It makes the dialogue incoherent and completely spoilt one of my favourite films. Sort it out Apple!

Unbelivable, please Apple sort this out, it's awful, all the action scenes are completely ruined by the terrible sound mix you've applied to this film Please please please fix it, it's currently unwatchable

    The transfer is a crime against viewers, the sound is awful with much of the track from engine to gun shots coming out as headache inducing white noise. Real waste when the dvd transfer is fine, feels lie Apple made a dodgy copy from VHS.
  • Great film, but the audio...

    As others have said, the soundtrack is messed up. Possible poor encoding, it sounds like it’s being passed through a flange/chorus pedal. In the big action scenes it’s nigh on unlistenable.
  • THE greatest movie of all time

    What an absolute classic, I really enjoyed this back in the day and once again now. I noticed that some people had commented on the sound quality, initially I thought it to be fine as I played it on my iPad. However it was definitely inferior when I played it again through my Apple TV. What a shame, I hope they can improve it, as its spoiling an otherwise great presentation.
