Anyone here have the Special Edition DVD with the Kevin Smith/Scott Mosier commentary?

Unfortunately I do. You can get it for $10 at Best Buy. The only reason I bought it was for the Rifftrax ... no seriously ... Ok you got me, it was for Patrick Swayze.    I have not watched any of the special features and I probably never will.

Although I am having some problems with the Rifftrax for this movie. Mike's commentary is really low, I can barely hear him. I even had the Rifftrax volume set to 100 and the dvd volume set to 25. Anybody else have this problem?

I'm going to re-download it and see if that helps.

yeah, I gave the commentary a listen.  If you're a fan of SModcast, you'll be in familiar territory.

Is this one anamorphic? The regular flipper disc has a non-anamorphic letterbox transfer, I just found out.  Dammit.

Found out how? I used the MGM disc with the full screen on one side and it is anamorphic.

Really? When I ripped it, it showed up as "Widescreen letterbox."

The new one only came out a couple of weeks before RiffTrax launched and the old one was the only one I had at
my work.

Here is a DVD TALK review snippet of the the 2003 MGM disc:

VIDEO:
The anamorphic widescreen video looks quite good. While it's doubtful that the Library of Congress will be canonizing this film, the print is in decent shape, if a little dull in the contrast department, but the image is reasonably sharp and the workman-like cinematography makes more sense when not cropped for Superstation. A full-screen version is available on the flip-side.

Not sure what happened in your ripping.

Yep it's quite low, and you can clearly hear Mike breathing heavily too. The early recording really shows on this one.
