Raging Bull, 1.85:1 Anamorphic, 5.1 remixed surround sound

Which version do I have to purchase to get it? every version I've seen is crippled in some way but a non-anamorphic transfer or regular 2.0 sound.

The 2-disc Collector's Edition, which I'm sure is still in existence.

The only 2-disc Region 4 edition is the 20th Anniversary, which even though it states on the packaging the transfer is anamorphic, is not. The single disc edition also is not anamorphic. Both versions only have 2.0 sound.

New Zealand's a Region 4 country. I'm sick of studios not giving a fuck any DVD region other than Region 1. I did a little more research, and it seems the only edition of Raging Bull with an anamorphic transfer, let alone remixed sound is the Region 1 Special Edition.

You must be joking. R1 is often a second class citizen to UK and Japan.

The best possible version available is the 2-Disc Ultimate Edition DTS Region 2.

OVERALL: R2
The new 2-Disc "Ultimate Edition", for the Anamorphic transfer, DTS audio track, Commmentaries and Additional Extras. Note that the new R1 SE has identical extras, but omits the DTS track.

The Ultimate Edition can be bought at CDWOW for £9.99/$18.90 (or cheaper if you use a coupon).

Yeah, I picked up the 2 disc for $10 at Target awhile back. I personally don't care at all about remixed soundtracks (give me the original in most cases), but the transfer looks very nice and it has some really nice extras.

I agree. Since Raging Bull is comparatively a dialogue driven film, in exception of the boxing scenes, the remixed 5.1 audio wouldn't benefit for the use of all discrete channels. The original matrixed Dolby Stereo Surround is sufficient for this movie. As you have stated, most 5.1 remixes does sound inferior, and artificial, when compared to their original mono soundtrack.
