What are your favorite Bonus Features on DVDs? I'm not looking for specifics, just in general what Bonus feature do you enjoy watching the most.
For me, it's the bloopers. A lot of time they are kind of dul, unfunny bloopers--but you occasionally get real good, side splitting bloopers. Bloopers are the only bonus features I ALWAYS watch regardless of the movie or show. SOMETIMES I watch deleted scenes/alternate endings...but my favorite bonus feature has got to me Bloopers!
You?

Teaching stunts segments on some Martial Arts DVDs. Bloopers get lame after awhile, saying the wrong word over and over again, people all do that. See a prop malfunction, so seen that a hundred times. But how they did the scenes and practice segments where you can learn some of the moves, those are cool. Most aren't useful in real life, but cool.

I defeniatly agree that stunts could be cool to watch. I also agree that some movies have lame Bloopers...a lot of them do very quick, second long clips of the actors laughing, or burping, or making a funny noise on purpose...and that isn't funny...lol. But sometimes I stumble across some really good bloopers that make me laugh really hard. For example, the shows Friends and Supernatural both have really good bloopers! :D

Aww, you don't like watching tv bloopers :P hehe.
Actually, I REALLY like watching game show moment bloopers. They are not always the same and people aren't really saying the wrong word..they are just sayin some crazy/hilarious things because they aren't thinking! lol
One of my favorites....this adorable, cute, british guy is on family fued...and the question is, Name something you keep in a garden shed. And he says, "Um, A gardner." Lol! I just love it because that immediatly makes me think 'murderer' and this guy is just so innocent and cute looking :P
Do you ever watch 'Game Show Moment Bloopers' ? There are a ton of them on youtube! I'll share a link to a short clip, this is voted one of THE FUNNIEST game show bloopers in history! It's pretty dang funny and...unfortunate for contestants lol.

Maybe those two would have some interesting bloopers. It's probably because I used to watch a show that was all Bloopers and it just seemed like the same thing over and over again, but just from different show. How many times can you watch people laugh about saying the wrong word over and over again or a prop not working?

I always have to watch the bonus features even if its a movie I've seen a billion times. I love the bloopers because they are almost always hilarious and the deleted scenes but I always wonder why they took some of the scenes out. I guess it might have been because the movie was too long and they needed to shorten it or the scene just was necessary. Whatever the reason I still enjoy being able to see some of the scenes that didn't make the final cut.

Yeah, sometimes I watch the deleted scenes and I wonder the same thing. There was a deleted scene/song from Phantom of the Opera that I really liked and thought they should have kept in the movie. But I do think it's because they have to shorten the movies. But they still get to share all their work on the Bonus Features! :D

My favorite bonus feature is the deleted scenes. I like to see just how the scene was different from the section that actually made it into the movie. Sometimes it is a very small difference and sometimes I think the deleted scene explains more of the movie and I can't figure out why they deleted it. I watch all the bonus features usually except for the personal interviews with the actors about the movie. Most of the time those are really boring.

Yeah, I find the commentary and interviews boring too :P lol.
That's one reason I'll sometimes watch deleted scenes. If I had any issues with the movie involving the plot and I don't get something--I check the deleted scenes, if there are any!
Thanks for the response! :D
