My best friend used to say, when trying to encourage our group of friends (one by one) that they HAD to see this movie, "you watch the movie TO watch the audio commentary".
This is hands down in the top ten greatest commentaries ever made for a movie. I miss the movie commentary section when I buy a blu ray today. The special feature section are lacking now.
I would also include the commentary from "The King" on the Bubba Ho-Tep DVD (which is obviously actually Bruce Campbell doing Elvis, as if the real Elvis was still alive and watching the movie). Another one I really liked was the one that was on the workprint version of Heavy Metal, which was really good.
This is still so brilliant. I watched this with the stills from their real commentary. They made the same comment about starting the whole trend with amps..
Not only amazing that they totally improv this, but to do it in perfect English accents is on another level. Also the way they reference really obscure British cultural trivia like the old pre-decimal currency "if we had 2 and 6 for every time we were fucked over we'd have....ummmm....4 and 12".
Yeah, I can't do a proper English accent _even when I'm quoting known lines from the film._ But they can just go totally off the cuff and still be 100% convincing.
Robert Downey Jr. did most of the commentary for Tropic Thunder as his character from the film, Lincoln Osiris. It's not as a great as this one because you have boring Ben Stiller and Jack Black on as well but RDJ did a great job riffing along to the film while remaining in character.
I love this because they essentially took the original film and turned it into its own secret sequel by adding the commentary. It is the greatest.
Agreed. I've said that for years.
Exactly what he said. Additional entertainment.
how can 3 people be so synched in terms of improv.. best American comedy trio

Greatest. Commentary. Ever. How can I leave this behind?!
This documentary fits me like a flesh tuxedo.
@stephentucker6548 it really pokes my hay
I want every movie to have a Spinal Tap commentary now. I love the parts where they crack each other up. They clearly admire each other's work.
If this isn't the greatest Commentary ever, it's in the Top One. I'd like to hear it in DOBLY.
it'd be better if it was mixed in Dublin.
What a treasure to find this!
Look at Stumpy, bless his heart ❤️
This is unbelievable. Just watched the whole commentary with the film synced to it. How do they come up with this stuff so effortlessly? Genius.

Derek Smalls: (surprised) "Are you on email?"
This might be blasphemy, but I truly believe the commentary is better than the actual film
this is absolutely priceless, have it downloaded to listen again and again! thanks
Listened to this while watching the movie.

Equal to if not funnier than the actual film.
I love when one of them says something funny and one of the other guys snorts.
“Even how he’s holding that cigarette, he’s giving you the finger!”
sweet, i enjoy these very much
This is the commentary from the DVD. Buy it if you can!
Brilliant
21:31 "he's taking a piss" lmao
“Too much more.”
Yes! Saved me $80 for put of print dcd criterion collection
Wow, didn't know it was worth that much. Picked mine up cheap at an estate sale years ago.
This is the commentary from the MGM DVD. The Criterion release had two commentaries that were not in character.
Genius
SP the best
Check out Harry Scherer on Jonesy's jukebox.
I want to be the sixth tap!
On THE SIMPSONS, SPINAL TAP is going to tell the audience they're the sixth member of the freaking group.
Still haven't heard a commentary track top this one. Unless by chance Bob & Doug do one for Strange Brew like, in the future eh.

I want to see more giantess vs Kaiju
God I miss Ross McLochness 😂
I had to stop after 10 minutes, they somehow managed to amplify the daftness by a factor of 1000
This is rubbish.
