Better Off Dead, Redux

Posted: 12/5/2006

My son talked us into watching Better Off Dead again. Of course, that’s a film I’m almost always up for watching.

I love watching the extras on DVDs. One of my favorite releases for the extras is Alien— The behind-the-scenes stuff is illuminating to the movie-making process. So I’m really surprised that there are no extras of any kind on the Better Off Dead disk. Savage Steve Holland, the director, was 23 when he made this film, and was touted at the time as being a wünderkind. Sadly, his debut didn’t do well at the box office, which helped to derail what should have been a highly successful career. Even a basic commentary could help give insight into a funny, inventive farce that’s filled with memorable lines and creative camera work.
