- 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' Special Edition DVD Details
We've put our end of the "Jay and Silent Bob" DVD to bed. The commentary track (featuring only me, Mosier, and Mewes) was recorded on Tuesday, and the intros to all the cut stuff was shot down at the store on Wednesday. Since there's been some curiosity as to whether this is, indeed, the Special Edition, let me fill you in on the details.
It is, indeed, the Special Edition, and it's a two disc set, under the Dimension banner. We were offered the opportunity to shoot very involved, animated menu screens starring Jay and Silent Bob, but I declined, as I HATE animated menus. Initially, we were going to try to put the Mtv Jay and Bob shorts on the discs, but we've opted to hold onto those for the next View Askew DVD (the Super, Duper Special Edition "Clerks" 10th Anniversary DVD). The Special Features on the "Jay and Silent Bob" DVD are as follows...
Commentary Track
Over an hour of cut scenes, extended footage, and gag reels
Two "Behind the Scenes" featurettes
The Music Videos
The Comedy Central "Reel Comedy with Jay and Silent Bob" Special
Trailers (theatrical and 'net versions, as well as TV spots)
You'll notice the absence of the Documentary that Jen and Malcolm were shooting. That's being held for the "Clerks" Special Edition, as it'll give us plenty of time to sift through the 80 plus hours of footage and interviews and come up with something great.
