Special Features

• Feature Commentary by Cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and Film Journalist Bob Fisher. This is an absolutely wonderful commentary, despite the fact that Zsigmond's accent can be a little thick at times. Insightful as well as informative, it's also surprisingly funny, as in an early moment when Fisher asks Zsigmond why so many establishing shots of the main cast are low angle and Zsigmond responds, "Maybe because I'm short." Zsigmond goes into the improvisatory nature of the shoot as well as Cimino's methods (Cimino favored multiple takes, often shooting the same scene over and over until some unexpected "mistake" happened, which Cimino then left in the film). He also talks quite a bit about the various locations that were utilized in the film and the challenges as well as the opportunities location shooting created.
• Deleted and Extended Scenes (SD; 16:57) features almost all Vietnam footage, with some extended Russian Roulette footage. There is an interesting Saigon scene with Walken and an examining doctor that was never edited, and so we get coverage of Walken and the other actor in single shots, which would have been cut together for the final film.
• Theatrical Trailer (SD; 2:47)
• 100 Years of Universal: Academy Award Winners (HD; 9:35) is the same promo piece that is included on some of the other 100th Anniversary releases.
