audio commentary?

I just got the DVD of this movie and it says that it comes with a full length audio commentary with the producer on the back of the box, but I cannot figure out how to access it. The movie itself plays fine otherwise and I was able to find the deleted scenes, but I cannot figure out how to turn the commentary on, if it is even there. Has anyone else had this problem with their copy of the DVD? The one I have is a two disk set labeled "Special Edition" and it is also widescreen. The second disk is the only one that has an "Extras" menu, but it's not in there either. :(

the audio commentry will certainly be on the "movie disc", not the special features... if there is no extras menu on that disc try accessing audio...could find it in there

Sometimes you can find the commentary option under the "language" menu instead of "special features". Have you tried to select "language" from the main menu?

BTW I'm jealous...it's still not been released on DVD here in the US.

Griffic-2...you can get it on ebay....shipped from the UK...luckily I befriended a chap in england(online) and he sent me a copy!! Gotta love the BRITS!
the audio commentary is great to listen to... after you watch the movie first... so as not to get distracted because they are actually talking over the movie.

I'm having the same problem - there is no 'set-up' or 'audio' section on the menus & I can't figure out how to access it either. Haven't even figured out how to access the other stuff & I know it's there - because I DID access it once a long time ago. It should not be this difficult to find something so simple...and I know that as soon as someone gives me the solution i'll whack myself in the head with a giant 'duh.'. Any ideas/help appreciated - i'm going nuts trying to figure it out when I know for a fact all extras exist....they're just hidden away somewhere. Thanks!

try turning the dvd over and playing the other side, could be a double sided disc.

On the main menu, you just select "Extras", then select "Commentaries on or off". Here is what the main menu should look like: http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8455/pdvd157.jpg Just press the Menu button on your remote to get there.
