Bad Boys II (Two-Disc Special Edition)
It's appropriate for a Michael Bay-Jerry Bruckheimer film that theBad Boys IIDVD is a visual and aural spectacle.  The picture is bright and vivid, and the soundtrack explosive and muscular (even without a DTS option--maybe there'll be a Superbit later).  There's no Bay commentary track as he did for theoriginal film, but he does appear in the disc 2 featurettes on stunts and visual effects describing the use of real props (check out the "car flipper" apparatus), CGI, and camera positioning ("The theory of this car chase is to put cameras where cameramen would be killed doing these shots.").Also filling out disc 2 are the in-depth scene deconstructions, which take six key scenes and allow you to view the sequence as it appeared in the film (a convenient touch), watch on-set footage, see the storyboards, and read the script (yes, there was a script).  The 19 "production diaries" may sound like text notes, but they offer even more on-set footage and factoids.  The seven deleted scenes are all pretty short and none aren't watchable, but it's hard to imagine needing to add any extra time to this 147-minute film.--David Horiuchi
