Holy s**t, they fixed the discs!!!

Rocky: OG mono restored. Piano is heard now after the bell when Apollo says there won't be a rematch. Now here's something interesting as well - that piano cue is now heard ALSO in the surround mix. To my knowledge, I don't think this has ever been the case, so it APPEARS at least like they took this opportunity to also add in that missing element to the discrete mix as well. Effing awesome.

Rocky II: Correct pitch restored (compared it directly to the old disc - it's definitely fixed).

Rocky III: Foreign language tracks are now the correct pitch.

Rocky IV: The single 1.78:1 shot has been fixed when Rocky is washing the car talking to his son. 1.85:1 for the whole scene now.

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BELIEVE they fixed these. Wow.

Everyone needs to contact whv@wbd.com and ask (politely) for replacements, because the problems have been fixed!

You'll need a photo of your receipt. I sent a screenshot of my amazon order and that worked. They did tell me that this email was for North America only, but I'm sure they can point you in the right direction for other countries as well.

But now we know that they’ve fixed all four of these 4K discs.

I know that because I did indeed just get my replacement discs this morning. And they are indeed all fixed!

What’s more—and this was a surprise—the Rocky 4K disc now has the missing piano cue on both the mono and 5.1 mixes!

Again, you can request these replacement discs by contacting Warner Customer Service at: WHV@wbd.com.

BEFORE YOU ASK: No, we don’t know if the version of the Rocky: The Knockout Collection box set now in stores will be fixed or recalled.

My guess is probably not. So you’ll either have to buy it and request the fixed discs, or wait for the new Rocky I-VI 4K collection that’s coming later this year.

ALSO BEFORE YOU ASK: There’s no way to identify the fixed discs from the earlier error discs via the disc labeling. You basically have to check the serial numbers on the inner ring. Those are as follows:

• I – old: 1213235, new: 1249343
  

• II – old: 1213552, new: 1248925
  

• III – old: 1213237, new: 1248929
  

• IV – old: 1213723, new: 1249348
