This one is amazing. Rodriguez packs his commentary track full of information about film-making, especially about how to shoot a movie for 7000 Dollars, as he did. He never stops talking for longer than two seconds and explains nearly every aspect: From lighting (with normal bulbs) to "special effects" (condoms filled with movie blood) to action und editing. It is entertaining and you learn a lot - after hearing, one might be able to shoot a film himself.

Great commentary -- a nine if you love hearing about filmmaking. If you've read the book on the making of the film, "Rebel Without a Cause", then 99% of the information here will be repetitive. If you haven't read the book -- read it instead. It's far better. However, if you don't have the time for a full-length read, this is a worthy alternative. Looking forward to hearing Rodriguez talk about "Sin City."
