51. Commentary Highlights: "That's what you call, you know, thinking on your feet with unexpected things, as things around you happen"
52. "We didn't want them to look like Star Wars swords"
53. Thora Birch dressed in scale mail armour while wrestling a CGI skeleton (with horns) is still not as embarrassing as the time she was in a Limp Bizkit clip.
54. Making of D&D Book Highlights: The screenwriters dismiss every fantasy film ever made as crap in the one paragraph. Neither of them have worked since.
55. DVD Extras Highlights: People talking about how race doesn't matter in Dungens & Dragons. That (1) the movie features a modern-day Stepin Fetchit and (2) Part of creating a D&D character involves choosing a race from a list doesn't seem to occur to them.
56. "The Elven people do not require spells to work with magic. You use magic, we are part of it. As is every living thing". Wouldn't that make... never mind.
57. "D&D is a great training ground to make people better human beings", said by this guy:
58. Things included for no reason other than their appearance in another movie include the Ewok village, Wolverine's claws and Darth Vader's theme music.
59. DVD Extras Highlights: "As you get older, you learn that there is more to the world than the dungeon. There are dragons, yes, but there are also villains".
60. In the deleted scene where The Dwarf is named, he says he's from "The Oakenshield Clan", ie. the dwarves from The Hobbit. Considering how outraged some people got when Peter Jackson cut Tom Bombadil from Lord of the Rings, I think this may have been cut for reasons other than pacing.
61. The DVD features an interview with Jeremy Irons, who is trying desperately not to burst out laughing while talking about how his character plans to take over the world. "In that way, he's a character we've seen before".
62. What the hell is this guy supposed to be?
63. "Have you lost yo' DAAAAAMN MIIIIIIND?" is a line sorely missed from other fantasy epics.
64.
IN CONCLUSION: The best $12.95 I've ever spent.
