Digital compression artifacts were never troublesome on the Letterboxed edition, however they were somewhat more noticeable on the pan and scan presentation. THE LOST BOYS features a new Dolby Digital 5.1 channel re-mix for this DVD release. The mix is quite good, giving excellent channel separation across the front and deep base. The surrounds aren't used as aggressively as newer films specifically mixed for a 5.1 channel format, however the sound from the surround channels is effective. Other soundtrack options include a matrix Dolby Surround compatible track.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
