Spiker; Sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I have not had an opportunity recently to keep up with Outlaw postings. This may sound strange but I can't recall what the theater sounded like, (it's been almost a year). Plus, I usually am not impressed with the way movies sound in the theater, I definately prefer the way it sounds in my living room. I only rented the Two Towers so once again I can't recall how this scene sounded. In November I will be buying the 4 disc version, I will then pay close attention to this scene and post my opinion. Sorry I can't be more help right now.
