Includes a new 5.1 Dolby soundtrack plus a full roster of DVD bonus material: a brand new making-of documentary featuring interviews with the original cast members including Bill Murray. Stripes: Extended Cut is the funniest military spoofs of all time. And that's the fact Jack!
"...owes a lot to [Bill Murray's] laid back, slightly sneering comedy style..." At-A-Glance Film Reviews
"Another classic of the 80s that has wound up in pop culture history. Especially notable because it's still funny even twenty-plus years later." Widgett Walls, Needcoffee.com
