HD DVD Review: Hot Rod - Page 2

Outtakes run over three minutes, providing some improv dialogue and a few screw ups. Fifteen deleted scenes run around 14 minutes, including a piece to a different opening that seems like a perfect fit for the finished product. Kevin’s Videos are full clips from the Stuntman movie shown in one scene during Hot Rod.

Punch Dance is a direct comparison to the Footloose parody, featuring picture-in-picture as Kevin Bacon goes to town on one side, and stunt doubles play Samberg in the other. Home video footage of the orchestra recording the theme is a little under two minutes and provides, well, nothing of value.

Will Ferrell was the original choice for the role, but was obviously too busy elsewhere. Dane Cook landed the spot, and he was then rejected. Ferrell was probably the best of the three (it’s his style of comedy), but Samberg has enough to pull this one off.
