Comments: This is absolutely choc-a-bloc full of extras
and any fan of the film, or of movie making in general, should
sit down to have a good look at it. The pick of the extras
are the short docos on how the movie was made, how certain
shots were achieved and how the whole process was worked through.
These are terrific and would score well by themselves. In
addition you get design sketches, conceptual art, sets and
props and storyboards. The alternate ending has Randy Quaid
delivering the bomb in his beat-up ol' biplane, but it was
felt that the humour would wreck the tension that had been
built up. Unfortunately, the audio commentaries are nothing
special.
