    'Your typical' making of making-of featurette

    BAD SANTA was a big hit for Dimension Films so one would expect that when the DVD was released, it would have been full with special features. Sadly, that was not the case. The only special features to be found on the DVD for BAD SANTA are a few brief deleted scenes, some outtakes, and this so-so making-of featurette. I dug the title, but the featurette itself left me wanting more. BAD SANTA: NOT YOUR TYPICAL Christmas MOVIE only runs nine minutes long. I like featurettes to be a bit longer than ten minutes. In those nine minutes, we learn a bit about the genesis of the story and details into casting, but other than that, there isn't a whole lot of information into the production of the movie. The majority of the running time consists of cast and crew members talking about how wonderful so and so was and what I joy working on the film was. In other words, it's 'your typical' making-of featurette. I would have preffered I much longer, more detailed documentary into the making of BAD SANTA since there's really nothing like it. It's an instant Christmas classic.

    Great making-of documentary

    I love this kind of documentary. This is because it's always fun to watch the cast and crew talk about their experiences filming a particular movie and working with their co-stars as well as the crew of that particular movie. In addition, it's also fun to see what happened behind the scenes during the filming of a particular movie, such as takes or bloopers. Anytime I watch a DVD or special edition VHS, I always look forward to seeing the documentaries afterward, that is, if there are any on it. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that this was a great making-of documentary. In conclusion, I hope you enjoy this making-of documentary.

    bad santa excellent

    hey the film is great ,billy bob thornton is great ,i really laughed during all the movie projection. maybe the humor is a bit too much for some people but if you liked al bundy in married with children and those kind of stuff you are going to love it.I think some people went to see this movie expecting to see some nice Christmas movie for the family and they were wrong , it's surely not the Christmas movie to go and see with your family but for people that have no limits in humor they will adore it ,i would put an 8 but since most people criticized it so badly and vote so bad for it i wanted to help the bad santa get some more points .

      Terry Zwigoff: I received the script from my agent, who sorta warned me ahead of time it was a film that would never get made. So I got the script, read it in one sitting actually I was on a plane I think when I read it, and I was laughing so loud sorta getting embarrassed about the whole thing and it was really funny the dialog was really great and I called her and said "Yeah I wanna do the film". and the said pretty much "Good luck" ya know, "Good luck finding anybody to make it." We took it to a couple of studios, got turned down by all of them. About a month later I got a call from Bob Weinstein saying He and Harvey just seen 'Ghost World' finally, loved it and wanted to make a Terry Zwigoff film. "Did I have a script?" and I said "Yeah, I have this script, its called 'Bad Santa'". "Send it to us right away Federal Express for tomorrow morning." So I sent it to him, uh about 11:00 the next morning Bob called and said he wanted to make the film. And that was it. Billy was on that short list after that if people I thought could do it.
