most of the special features are pictures and text information. damned, is the documentary different than the behind the scenes on the current release?

oh, and conscerning whatd id like on the CE....well, maybe a NEW commentary, deleted scenes, more bloopers (than what came on the first release), a segment on thew schwartz, dark helmet, barf etc. there are so many possibilities and it just seems MGM slapped a few "meh" features, a DTS and a clearer picture on this supposed Collector's Edition and sent it out. They could have done so much more with this one...reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell CE.

Here are my "Fantasy" Specs:

Newly Remastered Animorphic Widescreen Feature
DD 5.1
DTS 5.1
Old Mel Brooks Commentary (?)
New Mel Brooks Commentary
Spaceballs: The Documentary
"The Schwartz" Featurette
"Dark Helmet" Fearturette
"Mel Brooks: A Multi-Character Look at Spaceballs"
Featurette on the Restoration Process
Old Documentary (for shits and giggles)
"In Coversation: Brooks and Meehan"
Storyboard - to - Screen
Deleted Scenes
Blooper Reel
Spaceballs Trivia Game
"The Cult of Spaceballs: The Schwartz is with Them"

I think these features would be desired most by the fans, and the "Schwartz is with them" would be funny, as it mimics the "Force is With Them" Feature from the Star Wars DVD Set. After all, you gotta have some Star wars fun thrown in there :)

Again, I wouldn't know as I've never owned the original release. What was the run time of the original release docu?

like 12 mins, give or take

Spaceballs: The Documentary looks like it's been made recently, and runs about 29min in length.

Watched the movie last night.

VERY nice crisp picture. I found the DTS track to be too quiet during some of the "dialog only" parts, I found myself adjusting the volume to compensate. Haven't had time to get to the special features yet, but I'm happy with the purchase.

An anamorphic remaster is enough for me. I'm there.
