Cowboy Be-Bop: The Movie (Special Edition)

Product Information

Product Description

Mars is under siege! Just before Halloween, 2071, a bomb destroys a tanker truck with what appears to be a biochemical weapon. The reward for the bomber's capture is massive and there are 4 humans and a dog who really need the money. Down on their luck as usual, the crew of the Bebop get on the case. Set Contains: As special editions go, this Cowboy Bebop DVD isn't that loaded. The bulk of the extras are six featurettes--about 35 minutes of material--consisting of interviews with the key talents including creator Shinichiro Watanabe and the vocal talent (both Japanese and American). Because the Bebop DVD series was void of any design extras, fans should eat up the 100 or so production drawings and a dandy storyboard presentation. Listed as "music videos," the two songs are essentially clean opening and closing animation cuts (without credits). Fans will also appreciate that the film is presented in both original Japanese language and English in Dolby 5.1. The film lost its subtitle, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," from its American theatrical run for the DVD. --Doug Thomas
