I found this trivia tidbit on IMDB.COM and thought it was sort of interesting, in a wilson brother cross-over sort of way ******************************************* Reese Feldman's house in the movie, the brown and white mansion, is the same house that was eventually turned into the chapter house in the movie Old School (2003).

SYNOPSIS
Detective David Starsky (Ben Stiller) is the most dedicated undercover cop working the streets of Bay City, California. Devoted to his job, when he's on duty no crime goes unpunished. Detective Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson (Owen Wilson) is having career issues -- he's a good cop, but his hazardously laidback personality and desire for a quick buck don't always get the job done. When the two mismatched crime fighters begin their first day as a team, a "floater" turns up on the Bay City coastline. With the help of Hutch's street-savvy informant Huggy Bear (Snoop Dogg), the two begin to unravel the mysterious murder case.
All signs point to wealthy businessman Reese Feldman (Vince Vaughn), but Starsky and Hutch just can't seem to make a case against him. The unlikely duo will use their undercover skills, street smarts and good looks to solve the crime and make sure the criminal does the time.

What happened? I thought Owen was going to do the commentary on Starsky and Hutch with Todd Phillips. I guess Owen couldn't find the time in his busy schedule.
I wonder who is going to do the commentary on the Big Bounce? Has anyone heard anything?

I bought a UK magazine called "DVD Review" today and it does say the S&H DVD will have the commentary by Owen and Ben along with the director. I hope this is true!!! This magazine says it will have "exclusive" interviews with Owen and Ben in the next issue (coming out on 24 June)...I hope it is a new interview!!!

Don't count on commentary by Owen. Warner Bros is the distributor & they say Director only. I think they would be the accurate source since they're releasing it. And according to TBB releases, there is no commentary listed.

This is a review of the DVD from Washingtonpost.com...
Bonus Points The monthly guide to DVD extras
By Jen Chaney washingtonpost.com Staff Writer Tuesday, July 13, 2004;
This month, "Bonus Points" dissects the extras on DVDs from two of 2004's film adaptations: "Starsky & Hutch," a screen version of the '70s TV show, and "Hellboy," the cinematic rendering of Mike Mignola's popular comic.
"Starsky & Hutch"(PG-13) Release Date: July 20
"Starsky & Hutch" is hardly one of the year's funniest movies. It wasn't even the funniest movie released last March, when it debuted on screens. Given how tedious this alleged comedy is, I'm pleased, and a little surprised, that some of the DVD's extras are actually worth watching. The single disc includes a commentary track by director Todd Phillips (who also helmed "Old School"); six deleted scenes; a gag reel; and one of the most brilliantly conceived featurettes I've ever seen on DVD (see below for more details). It's worth renting "Starsky & Hutch" just to watch that nine-minute "Last Look" documentary, a take-off on the typically titled "First Look" features that appear on many DVDs. Unfortunately, you may have to sit through all 101 minutes of the lame movie in order to fully appreciate the doc.
Most Brilliant Bonus Point: If you've grown weary of making-of documentaries where cast members prattle endlessly about their wonderful experiences on set, get ready to laugh long and hard at the "Last Look" at "Starsky & Hutch." With deadpan facial expressions and dialogue that sounds completely serious, various members of the cast speak frankly about what a colossal failure the movie is. Owen Wilson notes that during filming the "excitement kind of got beaten out of me," adding that "sometimes you get a feeling the ship's going down." Carmen Electra and Amy Smart nearly get into a catfight, while Jason Bateman offers blunt criticism of Phillips: "Todd's asking us to jump through hoops and be little circus monkeys and come up with funny stuff that's not on the page." This approach would be amusing if "Starsky" were a good movie. The fact that it's a bad one makes the tongue-in-cheek comments downright hysterical.
Most Pointless Bonus Point: Snoop Dogg, who plays Huggy Bear, hosts a feature called "Fashion Fa Shizzle wit Huggy Bizzle." For those who don't speak "izzle," it's a short look at the ostentatious costumes Snoop wears in the movie. Neither funny nor particularly enlightening, the short film serves little function. Even Snoop fans won't say "bow wow" or "yippee yay."
Easter Egg Alert: On the special features menu screen, click on one of the star icons to find an Easter egg starring Vince Vaughn. Wearing his character's signature 'stache, Vaughn sits down with a security guard and engages in a brief game of Brady Bunch trivia. It's mildly amusing, but Brady experts may balk when he asks who hit Jan in the nose with a football. Come on, Vince, everyone knows it was Marcia who got clobbered.

Bunnypanda, I'm feeling wounded today. You don't know how much your photos are so well-timed and comfort-providing! All I need do is imagine it is I who Owen is embracing!
