Bachelor Party
SKU: 024543016441
While much is made about the gross-out content of the current crop of teen comedies, they pale in comparison to films like Bachelor Party, perhaps the raunchiest of all the '80s sex comedies. Now, 20th Century Fox allows viewers a glimpse at a bygone era with this DVD edition. The picture is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen fashion and looks quite good. Colors are rich and full, with very little degradation. Overall, the master print has held up well after nearly two decades. The sound is offered in Dolby Digital 4.0 and does a decent job of conveying the raucous atmosphere of the titular party. The extras appear to be culled from an EPK from around the time of the film's release, and they're very much a product of the '80s in terms of their structure and use of music. On that level, they're rather amusing to watch, although they shed little light on the making of the film. Still, it's very interesting to watch a 27-year-old Tom Hanks joking with interviewers. Bachelor Party is worth owning on DVD, if only because it's something of a Rosetta stone of '80s excess.
