From what I've heard about other Commentaries by Wolfgang, you should have your "No-Doze" handy when listening. Whereas before, the director could go minutes without speaking and seem disinterested; here he really is engaged. Thanks to a producer, or assistant named Michael, who sits in on the track. Michael spends the whole movie proding Petersen for tidbits about everything from casting, editing, and locations to effects. Wolfgang points out some cameos by his former stars, such as the lead in Das Boot. Also, fans of "The Shawshank Redemption" will appreciate the appearance of a very familiar prison. That alone warrants a high recommendation for this track. "Get offa my plane" and have a listen.
