New Line's Platinum Series of DVDs has put out an interactive disc with features as fun as the film itself. While the stars of Rush Hour are Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, the star of this DVD is the film's director Brett Ratner. Ratner's audio commentary is a lightning-fast rant of asides that fills the viewer in on every production detail as it happens. Other Brett Ratner highlights include his NYU student film Whatever Happened to Mason Reese? (with or without director commentary) as well as two Ratner rap music videos (also with or without commentary). Another treat is seven short deleted scenes, as well as an isolated score track with commentary from composer Lalo Schifrin. It's interesting, but not as chaotic as the on-the-set home movies of the cast and crew, all part of an awesome behind-the-scenes featurette. Finally, for those who still need more, PC-friendly software for DVD-ROM users lets viewers access screen savers, interactive games, the entire screenplay and more.

What's great about it: the communication barrier makes for a lot of laughs
What's not so great: too many sub-stories happening at the same time
I would recommend this to a friend!

This New Line Platinum Series DVD is an education in special effects and an homage to Lost in Space. Besides an awesome DVD transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, the film is loaded with as many extras as other top DVDs, such as the Terminator 2: Judgment Day Ultimate Edition. There are two separate audio commentaries on the disc, one by director Stephen Hopkins and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, the other by the film's technical crew that includes the cinematographer, editor, visual effects supervisor, and producer. There are also two making-of featurettes, one on the special effects, with action sequences laid out in computer model form, and the other discussing the future of the planet from an environmental viewpoint. Included on this disc is a synopsis of every single episode of the television show, as well as new interviews with the original cast. Check out nine annotated deleted scenes, a theatrical trailer, production designs, cast and crew bios, and a music video by Apollo 440. Finally, with DVD-ROM capabilities, viewers can use PC-friendly software to access the screenplay, trivia games, and much more. The film may have disappointed the diehard fans, but the DVD won't.

I loved the original tv show, and this movie does have some great cameo's from the tv cast........Once they start getting involved in space/time jumping, I get bored and usually stop watching because the ending just DRAGS!
