Delightful and Informative commentary track from Director Coolidge. She covers the whole production throughout the track. Everything from casting, shooting, and an encyclopedic display of location and soundtrack information. It's astounding that this picture was shot in 20 days and for under a Half Million dollars, and Coolidge describes some of the steps she took to achieve this. She called on friends at Zoetrope pictures (how she didn't know Nic Cage was Coppola's familia is equally astounding), namely technical personnel and actors, as well as recruiting up-and-coming music acts to supply the unforgettable soundtrack. After listening to the track, you could "Totally" take a "Valley Girl" Trek to Southern California while rocking out to the "PlimSouls." 8.5/10

I would love to discover this Video track, if it indeed exists. The only other track on my disc was an '80s Trivia track. While very informative, it's strictly text and doesn't convey the true "Nic Cage" hilarity one would hope for.
