"Jacob's Ladder - Commentary"

Just a quick note, this commentary was really basically a waste. Many of the topics discussed were already covered in the other supplemental materials (deleted scenes commentary, making of documentary). The only real cool insight was during the scene where Tim Robbins confronts Jason Alexander outside the courtroom. Apparently this scene was supposed to be shot in the hallway, but it played really comically because of the height difference between Robbins and Alexander. So instead they shot it on a stairwell, with Robbins always running two or three steps in front of Alexander in order to lessen their height differental. Cool little detail, the kind of thing I wish there was more of in the commentary.
