The Doors Special Edition is presented in an impressive velcroed tri-fold cover that opens like double doors with Saint Or Sinner, a twenty page booklet containing archival and production photographs and an original essay. The LaserDisc features an extensive 71 minute full screen supplemental section that contains widescreen segments of all different aspect ratios. Included is audio commentary on the making of the picture by director Oliver Stone, additional scenes, a featurette and the original theatrical trailer. An exclusive new documentary titled The Road Of Excess features original footage of The Doors and original music by Robby Krieger, as well as new interviews with Oliver Stone, Val Kilmer, Robby Krieger, Kathleen Quinlan, Frank Whaley, Richard Rutowski and Patricia Kennealy-Morrison. This is quite an magnificent package that is definitely a collectable.

Oliver Stone’s remarkable biographical film about the popular rock band from the 60s, and their self-destructive lead singer Jim Morrison (Kilmer in a critically acclaimed performance). Upon reaching superstardom, the “Lizard King” slowly separates himself from his girlfriend Pamela Courson (Ryan) and the band-guitarist Robby Krieger (Whaley), drummer John Densmore (Dillon) and organist Ray Manzarek (MacLachlan)—by living under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
