I have not seen the movie but I like the artwork.

it is not as bad as the stepbrothers 2 disc or blu-ray artwork which has to be the worst dvd artwork ever.

animatedude

i thought the artwork might look better in real life and it might have a slipcase,what did i know? no slipcase and the artwork looks even worse than what u might think.this is officially the worst artwork of a FOX searchlight movie ever.

OldBoy

but...does it have the Special Features??????????????????????????

dpz301

probably on the fourth version of the release, haha. which won't help me when i buy the first release.

animatedude

well i didn't buy it.

crs

It has the extras, this time, should I say. Well, on those that I got, anyway.

Not that they amount to much, though.

OldBoy

i think the 43 min 'making-of' is worth it alone.

Rypro 525

just got the dvd. What is up with the case? Its like they cut the case up into little shapes

Dark Lord

Has anyone else purchased this DVD and found that there are no special features on it, much like Fox's Slumdog Millionaire stuff-up?

Rypro 525

well i just finished watching the 42 min doc and i bought it from best buy, so from the looks of it, there is no 'fox slumdog' kind of fuck up.

The canadian release doesn't have the documentary. At least it doesn't on my blu ray and I didn't see mention of it on the back of the dvd. Bullshit. Luckily mine's still wrapped and it's going back tomorrow.

Rypro 525

i do kind of wish the wrestlers round table was on the dvd version too, and maybe at least of commentary from Darron

Dark Lord

I've checked 2 copies of The Wrestler on DVD and neither have the Features on them.

The wrestler's roundtable is great. The lineup of guys talking for 25 minutes is rather impressive:

- Brutus Beefcake
- Lex Luger
- Diamond Dallas Page
- Rowdy Roddy Piper
- Greg "The Hammer" Valentine

I can vouch for the Blu-Ray being a-OK when it comes to special features.

OldBoy

i think you are just trying to cause an unnecessary stir.

OldBoy

it's FOX's new eco-friendly/flimsy packaging.

Rypro 525

didn't Luger have a stroke not too long ago? Also i know he was one of the big steroid users (i think he admited to it after the Benoit tragady)

Dark Lord

WTF?! I'm deadly serious.

RagingBull80

Mine has the 42 min. documentary. I found it kind of disappointing. Seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff was cool but ultimately it felt rather empty. Oh well, I'd rather have it than not have it.

crs

What did your security sticker on top of the case say?

I'm not sure if it has any significance, but I noticed on Slumdog Millionaire that the first copies that didn't include the extras it only said "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE WIDESCREEN", but on the fixed copies the sticker said "* * SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE - WS SAC * *".

And on my copies of The Wrestler, that has the extras, it's likewise, the security sticker says "* * THE WRESTLER - WS SAC * *".

No idea what SAC stands for, though.

Dark Lord

You might have something there. They all have/had "THE WRESTLER WIDESCREEN" on the security sticker.

On the packaging it had a sticker that said the wrestlers discuss their secrets but there was no such feature on the disk that I saw.

boc4ever

My copy from the Redbox had no features either.

Rypro 525

that is just a rib. Its mainly 2 or 3 guys from the movie talking about how they got in the buisness (and its in the 45 min documentary), its the dude with the mohawk, and Necro that get the interview time.

bi0hzrd51

Oh alright thanks for clearing that up for me. I hadn't watched that part yet but Ill check it out.
