When the great Judge Judy said the phrase 'keep it simple stupid' there was wisdom within, as this single but stellar 25th Anniversary Disc of the great Risky Business can attest to. Forgoing bells and whistles that make other sets simply big and bulky, Warner Bros. has added a mere four extras features here, but all are gems of pure Cruise gold. Included are a fascinating commentary track with both Director Paul Brickman (who keeps the honesty flowing - he hated the studio ending!) and his muse Cruise (who remains interesting and cohesive!), a look back doc with interviews with all involved (De Mornay still looks smoking hot!), a sizzling original screen test with a young Cruise and De Mornay at the peak of their powers and the best of the bunch, an alternate and much better ending that adds more depth and emotion to an already five star flick. I say fat DVD sets be damned - if Harvard represents the big and flashy multi-disc products, for my money it looks like the University of Illinois.
