Brothers Of The Head

In a somewhat bizarre twist, the extras on the DVD do not match the descriptions on the case.

We are promised a Making of Documentary and Film Notes as well as the trailer. Instead there are a comprehensive collection of deleted and extended scenes.

The deleted scenes are almost a movie in themselves. Most are "deleted" so as not to make the film run for 3 hours. Some are deleted as they are too knowing, for this "documentary". As a nice touch, the scenes include a mini-credit sheet at their conclusion.

Overall DVD quality is very good, with an excellent Dolby 5.1 surround. Film quality is variable but one suspects this was intentional anyway and just helps the documentary feel of the feature.

Pity we didn't get "The Making of..."
