Finally! December 16, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Finally Bottle Rocket is now on Criterion and Blu-ray simultaneously. The film that introduced Wes Anderson and his clan to the world.The transfer looks absolutely amazing. All the extras are great too, including deleted scenes, and the original short. The best part though is the very relaxed and candid commentary by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. The two sit and chat and they are so relaxed with one another you eventually feel you are just sitting there with them watching the film. Several times i wished i could just chime in and add my two cents to the mix. Sometimes I feel filmmakers need a fans perspective to add to the depth these commentaries have. Now with every film getting a commentary many get lost in the mix. Still It was fans who enjoyed such commentaries on laserdisc that made DVDs what they are today.
This disc is also on DVD but for that extra bit of quality the Blu-Ray is worth it. Get a PS3 and this disc and you will be set. Now all we need is a Wes Anderson Blu-Ray collection with all his films. I am sure Rushmore, Tenebaums, Life Aquatic and Darjerling will all look spectacular when they come out.
Thanks Wes, Owen and the people at Criterion.

The Special Edition Fans Have Been Waiting For December 12, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Ever since Wes Anderson has been releasing special editions of his films through the Criterion Collection, fans have been hoping that Bottle Rocket would get deluxe treatment. The wait is finally over.
Disc one starts things off with an audio commentary by director/co-writer Wes Anderson and actor/co-writer Owen Wilson. They touch upon which scenes from the original short film survived into the feature. They also point out the re-shoots done after a disastrous test screening. Anderson and Wilson talk about how producer James L. Brooks helped them get Bottle Rocket made and taught them about screenwriting. It's great to hear these two long-time friends talk about their first film.
On disc two there is "The Making of Bottle Rocket," a 25-minute retrospective featurette that brings back key cast and crew members as they reflect on how the film came together and what they think of it now. There is footage from the short film and outtakes from the feature film. One gets the impression that James L. Brooks really mentored Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. Mainly, it is just great to see everyone from Luke Wilson to Kumar Pallana reminiscing about making this film.
"Storyboards" is a collection of Anderson's original sketches for specific shots and scenes in the film.
"The Bottle Rocket Short" was shot in 1992 with only $4,000 on 16mm black and white film stock. Running only 13 minutes, it was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 1993. Crappy copies have circulated on the Internet for some time and now fans can throw them away as this copy looks great. One can see the core ingredients of what would become feature film.
Also included are a collection of deleted scenes that include the source of Future Man's name but mostly there are several scenes between Anthony, Bob and Dignan. There are some really entertaining and funny bits but one can see why this stuff was cut.
"Murita Cycles" features friend and collaborator of Wes Anderson and the Wilson family, Barry Braverman and a short documentary that he made about his father, a Staten Island bicycle shop owner that inspired the Bottle Rocket short film.
"The Shafrazi Lectures, No.1: Bottle Rocket" is a rather odd featurette with a guy reviewing the film. He compares it to films from the 1950s and talks about his favourite scenes.
"Anamorphic Test," Originally, Anderson planned to shoot the film in the widescreen Panavision format and shot a test scene that actually looks really good. It's too bad that they didn't go that way.
Finally, there is a collection of photographs by Laura Wilson, the Wilson brothers' mother. We see Anderson and the Wilsons planning the short film in 1992. There are shots of them at Sundance and also lots of great behind-the-scenes snap shots of them making the feature film.
Wes Anderson's first feature film is my favorite December 6, 2008

This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.
Wes Anderson's first feature film is actually a remake of his first film.
Bottle Rocket is about a group of friends in Califronia who rob a bookstore and then flee to a motel in Arizona. While there one of them falls in love with a Paraguayan maid who cleans his room. They later return to California and meet up with some people there to rob a warehouse.
The Criterion edition is long overdue and now all but one of Anderson's films have been released by them.
The supplements are quite good too.
Disc one contains the film with optional audio commentary by Wes Anderson and actor and co-writer Owen Wilson.
Disc two contains a Making-of documentary, the original version of the film from 1992, 11 deleted scenes, screen tests, location scouting and other behind the scenes photos, Murita Cycles a 1978 short film about Murray Braverman, eccentric bicycle repairman in Staten Island filmed by his son, Barry, who direcred the making of documentary for this release, and The Shafrazi Lectures, an interview with Tony Shafrazi, a gallery owner who talks about the film.
This is must see for Wes Anderson fans and contains much material not in the earlier release of the film.
Great set--but keep the old disc, too! November 29, 2008

The Criterion 2-disc Bottle Rocket is outstanding, but don't toss your original disc just yet... the new edition is a slightly different edit that loses one laugh and adds another. I couldn't find any reference to these changes in the supplementary material at all.
MISSING: Originally, during the book store robbery, Anthony grabs a random book off the shelf and opens it, revealing the title page "Job Opportunities in Government - 1995" which always gave me a little chuckle. Now for some reason the book opens to a black and white photograph of a military plane (it goes by so fast you'd have to freeze frame to make it out.)
ADDED: Originally, when Bob hands his earnings over to Future Man to cover his attorney fees, he asks if he can keep a few bucks for gas, and the scene ends. Now the scene plays a few seconds longer, and we hear Future Man's reply: "No, you can't."
In addition to these minor (and somewhat baffling) changes, I was also unable to find any images of the one-sheet art or logo anywhere on this set (as appears on the menu page and sleeve of the original release).
So if you're a hardcore Bottle Rocket fan or completist, hang onto your old disc and buy this set as well. In addition to a beautiful transfer, commentary track, documentary, the original short film, and other extras, the booklet insert is a miniature replica of Dignan's 75-Year Plan notebook, along with reproductions of Anthony's drawing of Inez on horseback, the book store heist plan schematics, etc.
 Believe it or Not - It Feels Rushed November 26, 2008

I saw "Bottle Rocket" at my local indie cinema upon its release twelve years ago and have rewatched it again many times since on DVD. Naturally, I was really looking forward to the Criterion version. Overall impression - disappointing. The commentary provided little insight into the actual making of the movie aside from comments like "Remember when we filmed there?", "That guy was a friend of ours" and "The movie tested badly" (over and over again). The phone call thing between Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson didn't work (in twelve years they couldn't get these two guys together in the same room for an hour and a half?) Wes seemed game but Owen seemed a little out of it (or at least, his voice was flat and disinterested). He had a lot more enthusiasm on the commentary for "Rushmore"; even "Wedding Crashers". The making-of documentary was really bare bones (25 minutes?) and again didn't shed any real light on the film. (Watch the "Iron Man" DVD for a REAL making-of documentary.) The high point was Laura Wilson's behind-the-scenes photos. The deleted scenes were okay and it was great watching the short film without the choppiness of YouTube. So - some nice features but the hastily put-together feel of the commentary and the documentary really put me off. It's too good a movie and it's been too long a wait for those involved not to have put their best efforts into all of the features on this disc.
