Set Contains: DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET FEATURES: New, restored high-definition digital transfer supervised and approved by director Monte Hellman Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack Two audio commentaries; one by Hellman and filmmaker Allison Anders, and one by screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer and author David Meyer Interviews with Hellman, musician Kris Kristofferson, producer Michael Laughlin, and production manager Walter Coblenz Rare, never-before-seen screen-test outtakes “Performance and Image”: a look at the restoration of a ’55 Chevy from the movie “Color Me Gone”: photos and publicity from Two-Lane Blacktop Original theatrical trailer PLUS: new essay by Kent Jones Product Description Drag racing east from L.A. in a souped-up ’55 Chevy are the wayward Driver and Mechanic (singer/songwriter James Taylor and the Beach Boys’ Dennis Wilson, in their only acting roles), accompanied by a tagalong Girl (Laurie Bird). Along the way, they meet Warren Oates’s Pontiac GTO-driving wanderer and challenge him to a cross-country race – the prize: their cars’ pink slips. Yet no summary can do justice to the existential punch of Two-Lane Blacktop. Maverick director Monte Hellman’s stripped-down narrative, gorgeous widescreen compositions, and sophisticated look at American male obsession make this one of the artistic high points of 1970s cinema, and possibly the greatest road movie ever made.
