Out of print since 2000, this out-of-character commentary track by stars
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer was originally
recorded in 1994 for Criterion's Laserdisc release. It was ported to the
1998 DVD edition, along with the 20-minute "pitch reel" cut and a second
commentary featuring director Rob Reiner, producer Karen Murphy, and
editors Robert Leighton and Kent Beyda. Christopher Guest would not begin
directing his series of improvisational comedy-documentaries until two
years after this was recorded (and over ten years after the original film
was completed) with 1996's Waiting for Guffman.

Syncing Tip

On this audio track (which opens with a few seconds of silence), pause
just after Rob Reiner says "Hi. I'm Marty DiBergi." Get your
DVD/Blu-ray/Download/Holo-Implant of the film started and pause just after
the same line.
