I just received the SHOUT FACTORY release in the mail and watched it!



Many many many thanks go out to shout factory for releasing this gem! I just received it in the mail and watched it with the audio commentary track with director Mark Buntzman and actor Mario Van Peebels. They provide a plethora of interesting facts and trivia behind the making of this 80's cult action classic. I had no idea how much Van Peelbes invested in his character! I mean I felt it when watching the film, but I never actually knew that he built the uniform of X's character himself from different items to reflect the urban environment that X was a part of. Buntzman also discusses how the factory in the final act was located right next to the factory where the final act of Terminator 1 was being shot at the same time. Oh it such an awesome commentary, fans of the film, buy this shout factory release and watch it so we can discuss it already.

I just watched the film for the first time and enjoyed it. I'll check out the commentary shortly.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

reply

Agreed!

I thought the commentary was strictly okay. It starts off well, but runs out of gas about halfway through the movie. There are way too dead spots in the middle and towards the end of the film. That said, it's still worth a listen because Buntzman and Van Peebles do have some interesting information to share about the picture. I was especially surprised to find out that Van Peebles originally auditioned for the role of Be Gee.

I'm a totally bitchin' bio writer from Mars!
