Kill ‘Em Good: Interactive Comic Book is a brief translation of the graphic novel frames of ‘The Big Fat Kill’, with very slight animation and voiceover. Cool, but brief and it’s hard to not wonder why only one was done?

Next up we have two Audio Commentaries, the first provided by Director Robert Rodriguez and graphic novelist Frank Miller and the second by Director Robert Rodriguez and co-director Quentin Tarantino. These tracks coupled with the aforementioned Cinexplore feature are going to reveal pretty much everything you wanted to know about the film and probably a little more. Rodriguez has always struck me as a down to earth, ‘aww shucks’ kinda guy and this does little to dispel the notion. There’s also a bonus Audience Reaction Track (nicely presented in 5.1) which was presumably recorded at the premiere of the film in Rodriguez’s home town of Austin, Texas. Whilst this is cool and a nice way of emulating the theatre experience, I couldn’t imagine watching the entire film this way.

Recut stories, on disc two presents the four stories which make up Sin City as separate entities, extended by around 23 minutes in total. I’ve only read a few of the graphic novels, but I’m told that these presentations are even slavishly closer to the graphic novel. Importantly, they are presented in the same quality as the film - that is full 1080p and DTS HD 7.1 audio. Classy.

A large collection of Featurettes are next; How It All Went Down: Convincing Frank Miller to Make the Film a brief discussion on the work Rodriguez had to do to woo over the hesitant artist, Special Guest Director Quentin Tarantino looks at the two directors friendship and Tarantino’s seeming interest in shooting digitally for the first time (he hasn’t shot digital since, so I would have liked to have heard more on that side of things), Hard Top with a Decent Engine: The Cars of Sin City looks at the classic cars in the film, but where did they all come from?

Booze, Broads and Guns: The Props of Sin City takes a look at the real world manufacturing of every prop, keeping in mind that it has to look exactly the same as it does on paper, Making the Monsters: Special Effects Make-Up is one of the more interesting featurettes and discusses the challenge of the flourishes of colour with the films particular cinematography, Trench Coats and Fish Nets: The Costumes of Sin City tells of not only creating the intricate, and at times alluring costumes, but emulating what’s on paper, all the while making it work with the particular style of the film, 15 Minute Film School shows some of the Frank Miller test footage, which was discussed in an earlier featurette, Sin City: The All Green Screen Version is a really sped up version of the film, as the name suggests, purely in green screen form. This would have worked much better as a picture in picture track, and at any rate the Cinexplore feature kinda makes this redundant.

The Long Take With Quentin Tarantino presents a 17 minute long, uninterrupted take of a scene featuring Benecio Del Toro which is basically impossible to do with the limitations of film, a limitation that digital filming does not have. Finally, we have the most indulgent piece Sin City: Live in Concert, which features Rodriguez and Bruce Willis playing music. Stick to your day jobs, guys.

Wrapping up the collection are two Theatrical Trailers, which features the awesome song ‘Cells’ by The Servant. Disappointingly, these are only presented in standard definition, the only real complaint I have about the entire disc.
