Do The Right Thing 20th Anniversary Blu-Ray Review

Well 20 years have gone by, time has passed a lot of us by, but the ever vocal Spike Lee and his creations still stand. 20 years later and we have a Anniversary Blu-Ray review of Do The Right Thing. While I could go on and on about the film, that is not the point of this Blu-ray review. My want it to have this be a brief review of what the Blu-ray from Universal offers and what you the viewer have to look forward to.

The overall transfer to Blu-Ray looks great. While the outfits, direction and that of a film that is 20 years old distract you from seeing the need for HD, it is in a very solid transfer. Universal came through on this one.

The extras on this disc are beyond all I have seen. 4 hours of everything you would need. From a DVR like effect of “My Scenes” to a great documentary by Spike Lee. Below I have listed all of the extras on the disc. While a long list, each add a special smile to ones face when viewing them all. The trailer is my personal favorite.

• 20th Anniversary Edition Feature Commentary with Director Spike Lee
• Feature Commentary with Spike Lee, Director of Photography Ernest Dickerson, Production Designer Wynn Thomas and Actor Joie Lee
• Setup for the PS3 controller – obviously for those of us with a PS3 for our Blu-Ray fix.
• The ability to setup “My Scenes” – A feature that allows you to save off scenes of the movie as a bookmark of sorts to view at a later time.
• The 20th Anniversary Documentary from Spike Lee and many others.
• 11 Deleted/Extended scenes from the film
• Behind the scenes on more than 5 different aspects from filming to the read-through
• The “Making Of” Story behind Do The Right Thing
