Fantastic edition, amazing feautures and awesome movie!
First of, I am a huge fan of this movie. I love it. Ok, now for the review. I will not be reviewing the actual movie, but I will be taking a look at the dvd edition called "2 disc ultimate edition".Right from the title, it states "Ultimiate" I have seen 3 disc editions sold in the UK. So that would lead me to belive that there are more versions out there, well, with more stuff. In america thoe, it is probably the best we are going to see for a while. First thing you will notice with this DVD edition is the case. The case is a fantastic "steal book". I love the quality and the art on the front of the case is beautiful. Actualy, if you have not see the film, the cover of the DVD case is a scene from the movie. Although I hope you do see this film for it is simply amazing and a piece of art. The inside of the case bosts an actualy, rare picture directly from the film. I have never seen this particular angled shot any other time while watching the film. A deleted scene perhapse? also bolth the outside cover and inside cover are washed out, it has this almost "dirty" yello color, bu this color realy works and seems to fir the movie quality all around.Now on to the features of the DVD. You will have trailers, and another bonus is the T.V. spots and radio spots. unlike other DVD realeses of films, not many come with the radio and T.V. spot's which to me is a pretty nice addition. I cant remember for sure, but I believe you also get a slide show of diffrent poster art work and advertisment posters, and some foreign art work. Mind you, the feautures are almost "spread" onto bolth discs, its not like there are only special features on disc 2. You will still get some on disc 1 but I cant remember specifically which disc holds which feature.There very interesting featurettes on how the film was made, how it was making it, and some insight on what some of the actors/actreses hade expirenced on set. I think you will be suprised at what these people went through to get this movie going. Trust me, now that I understand what they went through I appreciate this movie more than I used to.Note: I am listing the special features from memory, so if I miss some you understand why. There are also trailers for other films. Like I said I dont remember all the features, so I will end it here cause I cant remember all of them.Sorry if you feel like I left you hinging. I am also getting sorta annoyed by the fact that I said "feature" so many time lol.Overall, amazing DVD. Like I said there are probably better editions out there, but for America, this might actualy be the ultimate edition we have been waiting for. Plus the price is amazing for this DVD, I payed $5.00 for this at wallmart brand new! amazing price I am very happy with it.
