Can you name some dvds that you've come across where they list a special feature that isn't on the actual dvd?

I noticed that L.A. STORY claims it has a director's commentary, but I couldn't find it.

Halloween: H20 lists commentary by director Steve Miner and Jamie Lee Curtis. Not on there.

This is probably the worst dvd that is considered a special edition as it only has a 15 minute featurette and a non-anamorphic transfer.

R2 Batman Returns lists a commentary but it doesn't exsist, mainly because the film has a few edits in the uk and Wb didn't bother to edit the commentary aswell, which would have taken an hour tops, seeing that the edits in the film are very small.

the old "12 Monkeys" lists the Hamster factor featurette but that isn't there i believe.

Wow, an edited Batman Returns minus the Burton Commentary...I'd be furious.

A Christmas Story-Commentary featuring Melinda Dillon (Nope, not there)
Friday The 13th-Crystal Lake to Manhattan-"Scary Trailers" featurette (And I was looking forward to this too)
The Ballad of Cable Hogue-Documentary (Not there)

Oh wow, never even realized that on the Crystal Lake to Manhattan. Have that too but you're right! Being a trailer whore, this really does piss people off

Not to mention it had a $39.99 MSRP.

Irreversible DVD says that it has a special effects featurette but it is not on the disc. Still you can download it on the films website.

Three Kings French Language Track, not there

WALK ON WATER lists bonus features on the cover, but there are none...

On the back of the first release of Reservoir Dogs it boasts a running time of 99 mins as a special feature but the film is really only about 98 and a half minutes.

It is on the old release.

Exactly. Burton's commentary might not be the best commentary around but I find it to be very informative and I'd be pissed off if I don't have that commentary.

Lucky for me, the R3 have the commentary for all movies in the boxset just like the R1 counterpart.

i thought it claimed to, but didn't???

I remember when I watched it, there was a featurette on how they did the fire extinguisher scene.

You have to press the menu key to get to it. Otherwise, the film just automatically plays.

Coming Up Next, A Segment On People Who Capitalize Every Word In A Sentence.

As I recall, it wasn't on the DTS version of the disc, but was on the standard DD 5.1 version.

there's def one on there. that scene and the rape scene are explained in detail as to how they did it all. It lasts about 10 or 15 minutes.

The first print run of the disc didn't have it on it. People complained to Lion's Gate and so they made a re-pressing that included that sfx featurette - you could order the new disc off their website by sending in the original one for a swap (or download it if you didn't want to go through the hassle to send in your old disc). Eventually, it appears the new re-pressing is out there in most retail stores at this point so chances are good that if you bought it now, the extra would be on it.

However, the back of the case (at least the original printing) also says that there are 'deleted scenes", trailers, and teasers. I know one or all of those were also NOT on the disc or the re-pressing - can't remember off-hand which one (or all) of those was missing, but it's still missing something even with the sfx featurette added back on it.

I actually think it was the other way around. It wasn't listed on the back, but it's on the DVD.

H20 is actually missing more features than just the commentary. I remember when it first came out it listed multiple features on the back that were no where to be found on the DVD. They omitted the missing features when they re-released the DVD with a corrected cover. But they left the empty spaces on the new cover where the old features were listed.

I guess they were too lazy to resize the special features box.

I was very upset with the lack of promised trailers on my Star Trek: Generation SCE!

(J/K, actually I was just happy I didn't have to wait a few extra weeks to get it. )

I have an older copy of the wizard of ozz and the documentary is missing
