Breaking down a memorable scene from "U.S. Marshals"
Of the couple of bonus material from the "U. S. Marshals" DVD this one is a quite alright view making of detailing the conception and filming
of the famous plane crash where Wesley Snipes character escapes from authorities and leads Tommy Lee Jones' Sam Gerard character on another manhunt
after the success of "The Fugitive". Director Stuart Baird, producer Arnold Kopelson, production designer Maher Ahmad and others from the technical crew
show the storyboards, the real plane used where the actors escape from drowning in that memorable sequence and also the model planes used along with
special effects to conceive a most disastrous plane crash as possible.
It's pretty cool to see those moments and the comparison with the actual filmed sequences, and it's fun to watch the special effects crew enthusiasm while building the whole things. Just didn't like the excessive fade-out cuts each certain segment was ending and moving to one another. One can make those projects without those cuts, since it felt like each fade-out came the documentary was at the end when it wasn't.
As said earlier, of the bonus materials this one is fine; the other two are a very informative special on the history of the real U. S. Marshals as enforcement agents; and the audio commentary by director Baird, which was the most disappointing commentary I've ever heard since for the 2 hour movie duration he only talked about the action sequences and how they were shot, rather than telling behind the scenes stories and collaboration with actors. It was so damn boring that Warner edited his talks with warnings telling you to jump to the particular chapter/scene to be discussed. Not only he didn't had much to say, it wasn't much a compelling teller. 7/10.
