Language: English. Dolby Surround 5.1, 2.0 for audio

make-up test, creative visual effects, teaser trailer, theatrical
trailer, cast and crew bios.
Comments: Sometimes an interesting batch of extras
can save a DVD because it gives it the chance to redeem itself
after an ordinary movie. In this case, the extras half save
Battlefield Earth. The commentary sounds very much like the
director and production chief were wanting to excuse the quality
of the movie by bringing in such things as "the way you
approach the film". Didn't work with this fellow. The
pick of the extras are the short features which go into how
the film was brought about, how it was filmed and you get
to see the seemingly ever-changing look of John Travolota's
character Terl.
