Smallville Season 2 DVD Review « Thread Started on Jul 17, 2004, 11:34pm »
Hey everyone Jarrad here again.
Some of you might have known, but my Grandma gave me the Season 2 DVD Boxset for my 16th Birthday.
The Season Two DVD Set has all 23 episodes in the series from Vortex through to Exodus. Each episode is presented in Widescreen Format and the Audio is in 2.0 I think.
The episodes look fantastic in Widescreen view and the picture is crystal clear which is great seeing the reception was dodgy on Channel 9 on some of the nights Smallville Season 2 was on.
There are also some really cool special features on disc 6 once again, but are easily better than the ones on the first season set.
* Commentary on two episodes : Red and Rosetta There are four different commentaries, two on each of the episodes. For both episodes there is a Al Gough/Miles Millar commentary and the other includes cast members: Michael Rosenbaum, Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk, as well as the episode director. These commentaries are really funny to listen to and give good insight into how the episode was made.
* Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: The Visual FX of Smallville A short documentary that is great for Smallville fans. It shows you some of the best special effects from the second series and how they were made. There are some great behind the scene secrets from Vortex, Insurgence and Accelerate.
* Christopher Reeve: The Man of Steel This documentary is about Christopher Reeve and his character in Rosetta. Regular cast members comment about him and there are other interviews with the shows producers and Reeve himself.
* The Chloe Chronicles The Chloe Cronicles are also included on the set. Australia viewers probably wouldnt have seen the mini series before seeing it aired on The WB and the episodes around when it aired have not been showed in Australia. The first is about Dr Jenkins and the rest revolve around Dr Walsh and a creepy Donovan character.
* Deleted Scenes There are deleted scenes from: Heat, Duplicity, Dichotic, Prodigal, Fever and Exodus. Some of these are good, but some of them were left out because they were pointless.
* Gag Reel This is a very good special feature and it is very very funny. Even my dad enjoyed it and he isnt Smallville's greatest fan. It was funny to see how many times Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) purposely stuffed up, or was funny on set. There were some good Clana scenes that had some bloopers including the kiss from Red.
** I do not know when the Australian version of the DVD set will be released but I doubt it will be before the rest of the series is shown on Channel 9. Season 2 DVD set was released in America and Canada on May 18th 2004 and will be released in Region 2, Great Britian on July 19th.**

How lucky are you, your grandmother rocks how did she manage to get a dvd for this region (I'm assuming your Aussie if not sorry). Ah I wish nbn would finish the series so I can buy the dvd all I really want is the gag reel anyway.

hey chlexed
yeah I am Aussie, the dvd that i got is region 1, thats why i dont know if there are differences with the dvd when it comes out region 4. there were some differences with the region 1 and 4 season one dvds special features and box covers.
my grandma bought a region 1 copy from a Walmart store in canada, but i have a multi region player so i guess i got lucky. my season one dvd is also from canada, thats how i had it 3 months before it came out here

haha the bloopers are pretty good.
theres the Kiss Scene...
in one of the attmempts CLark falls over, and the other he spills coffee all over Lana's shirt..
theres the Clana scene at the end of Exodus, and one of the producer's fones go off
a lex scene where his fone starts ringing in the caves
lex scene from rush where he keeps laughing at Bad Clark
umm, lots of Lex being silly - and Jonathan mucking up lines
Pete mucks up a line....and theres quite a bit, bout 3 mins i think
clark lana scene from accelerate...
Lana: Do You Believe In Ghosts? Clark: NO! Lana: oh Clark: Your strange
and
Clark: Youve got hair in your face. Lana: Ive always got hair in my face.
and
Lana: My eye was twitching, can we do that again?
and there was some bloopers from the Calling attic kiss scene, Lana almost burns herself on the candles, so does Clark, and then Lana keeps laughing instead of kissing.
