Haven't listened to the commentary, the trailer is average, and that's all for extras. The picture and sound are adequete. A typical Paramount release.

Even though this was theatrically released in mono, I'm disappointed. The soundtrack should've been stereo at least.

Re: mono, Paramount did the same thing with their recent release of Children of a Lesser God. The least they could do is make it a good mono track.

I would recommend it. Yes, they should have done it in Stereo or a remixed 5.1, but the picture quality is pretty good, one or two spots of "haze", but overall good. Commentary is pretty good as well.
