Watched YOLT yesterday and loved it. I knew I was going to be a sucker for it as I love Japan, but the sheer visual quality of the restoration and one of Barry's greatest soundtracks along with Living Daylights make it one of my favourite Bonds.
The last time I saw it was when I taped it on ITV about 20 years ago and noticed some distinctive differences:
Also, there were quite a few extra scenes during the training. The aired version didn't have half of the ninja scenes nor the explanation of the rocket guns.
Interesting debate about the 5.1 soundtracks. I actually really loved YOLT in 5.1 as I think the musical score really is better sounding in stereo and embellishes the film just a bit more. But I get the point about the lift scene at the beginning of DAF losing some of its potence...

At the beginning when Henderson is killed (still irks me they used Charles Gray for the bad guy and now the good guy) - I seem to remember my VHS copy had a different cut being a poisoned tip in the neck and not a knife in the middle of the back!
