B.B King documentary on the DVD.

I just have to say the documentary on the DVD was a real ball. It's maybe only 25 minutes long, but the interaction between King, Landis and the cast provided some lively amusement and there's some catchy live footage of King doing his stuff with some prime comedians of the 80s. It was nice to get a very informative and humorous insight into the legendary Blues musician involvement in the film's soundtrack and that of his blues' roots. The hypnotic score is definitely one the film's strong points, that's for sure.

It would've been great to get a commentary too, but this doco alone makes up for it.

Feel free to add any thoughts?

I just bought the dvd and the film is as good as i remember it, and i'm dissapointed that such a great movie does not even have a commentary or something butt still, i'll see the documentary in time...

Yeah one would've be great. I don't even know if Landis has ever contributed to a commentary track to any of his flicks.

Man, too bad they didn't get him into the movie for an Adventures in Babysitting type moment.
