Extra Features:

• Commentary - in this archival audio commentary, Gus Van Sant and Matt Dillon go down memory lane and recall how and where various sections of Drugstore Cowboy were staged and shot -- apparently, a lot of important material was shot very quickly, and some by Van Sant's second unit -- the new material that was added while shooting was in progress, what type of music was selected for the film, etc. Also, there are some interesting comments about the clothing choices that were made and how they were supposed to be reflective of the Beat culture, as well as the management and importance of color throughout the film. For example, the color green was considered to be the primary black, and the intent was to make Drugstore Cowboy look like a black-and-white film but shot in color. The commentary was recorded in 2001. BLU-RAY DISC
