If you're against animals being tested upon then this film might not be for you, but it's worth noting that in all the parts where it matters, you're most likely to be looking at a work of CGI and not a real puppy or primate. It's up to the rest of the cast to track him down and bring him back to the land of the living, which is where the film starts to descend into rather a gory farce. A hugely enjoyable treat for all who can stomach the occasional, but strong, violence. Finally, the king of the TV movie scene, William Devane , has a cameo as one of the suits putting up the funding to Caine's project. Spectacular effects demand a spectacular presentation and Columbia have done us proud.
Artifacts are non-existant and colours are perfect.
There are Three Deleted Scenes , the latter two of which contain additional commentary from director Verhoeven. I won't spoil what happens in them, but it's safe to say they didn't need to be included in the film itself. They're worth a watch although you could figure out their content for yourself and taking them out of the main feature quickens the pace. Two Trailers are included, both in Dolby Digital 5.1, both of which give away a little too much about the film than I'd rather know beforehand, but only the latter provides the singular anamorphic content amongst the extras. Filmographies for the director and the three leads and Audio Commentaries from both composer Jerry Goldsmith and a combined one with director Verhoeven, Bacon and screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe round off the extras.
