FOR A DVD RELEASE, WARNER BROS. DECLINED TO INCLUDE A DOCUMENTARY RUSSELL MADE ON THE WAR.
Warner Bros. wanted to put the movie back in theaters in time for the 2004 election, and they also wanted to package a new DVD with additional material. “I didn’t have any more deleted scenes, or at least nothing that was worth tacking on to a DVD,”. “So I decided to do a short documentary. Not about the movie itself, but about the situation in Iraq.” Warner decided not to include it on the DVD. “It was too political for them,” Russell said. “I asked a lot of questions about this war.” The filmmaker felt the documentary would “be useful to voters before the election,” but Warner pulled out saying it was “logistically impossible” to release it. The IFC Channel ended up airing the doc the night before the 2004 election.

Very interesting! David Dreier probably gave you that 1/5 star.
