Special Version Region 2 DVD Review :: Page 7 / 9

.: 13th Annual Tokyo Film Festival Stage Greetings :.
Running Time: 4min 25sec
4:3 Fullscreen

This is similar to the Stage Greetings on the previous DVD. The entire main cast ("Beat" is included this time) take to the stage, introduce themselves and give their views on the film. Nothing too exciting here but it is nice to see. There's also a strange bu funny bit of audience participation at the end of the clip.

.: Battle With Politicians :.
Short Japanese Article spread over 2 pages
This is a short article that gives details on the trouble the film had with politicians over the violent content of the movie. Unfortunately for me, it's entirely in Japanese so I'm at a loss.

.: Art Gallery :.
Posters & Website

Included are 14 pages of promotional posters and artwork. Screenshots of the AWOL official website are also present. This is a nice little section and I'm glad it's included.
