Most of the time, when actors sit down for a retrospective on a past movie, it's standard business. Very matter-of-fact and procedural.Hopefully, they make it somewhat entertaining and it doesn't come off as a chore. Maybe they'll have a couple of good stories, shed some light on the movie's production.
And then there's "Villains of Old Detroit", which might be the most entertaining featurette I've ever seen. Kurtwood Smith, Ray Wise, Miguel Ferrer and Ronny Cox; a group of guys who are more than happy to reminisce about their time making "RoboCop". These are down-to-earth people who played some seriously despicable villains. It's a very casual and mirthful tone as these guys fondly regale you with stories of getting into trouble on the set, making fun of the ESL director and creating a laid-back atmosphere. They relished their roles and it makes for an insanely likable special.
And that's all before Kurtwood breaks out the "Bitches, leave" story. Trust me, you'll love it.
This one's a can't-lose.
10/10
