Theres a great half-hour bit on oscar zeta acosta, the inspiration for dr. Theres a nice little behind the scenes look at the day thompson visited the set. A look at the controversy over the screen writing credit is interesting (if a little one sided- check out the alex cox book film anarchist for the other side of the story). some great ralph steadman artwork (a lot from the original rolling stone article). Loads of the usual storyboards/ press photos etc. Note the dress pattern scene has been moved to the second disc.ĭisc 2 has some great stuff on it. The deleted scenes are the same as on the original release (same non-anamorphic quality) but now with optional gilliam commentary. At one point he phones depp & del toro up & leaves some rather interesting messages on their answers phones. The track is all the raucous fun you’d expect from Thompson, within the space of a minute he’s called gilliam a homophobe & a fag. Thompson track is listed as an interview, but does seem to be kinda screen specific (at one point he pauses the video/dvd that he is watching). The gilliam commentary is as good as his other efforts (if you’ve heard his commentaries before you know what to expect- and this doesn’t disappoint) ive only dipped in to the other commentaries- the producer/depp/del toro track has all 3 recorded separately in usual criterion manner. The extras are where this disc really shines in my book. Only sampled the new soundtracks (DD/DTs) so others will probably let you know what that’s like, but the ‘bats’ scene did sound nice on the DTS track.

The picture (at least to my eyes) looks pretty darn good, although I cant see a huge difference between this and the original release (I only have a small TV though so others may notice a greater difference between the transfers). The packaging looks very classy as already described a clear slipcase over a dual dvd case.

I’ve had this disc a couple of days now, and thought you’d all like a preview.
