The part that always bugged me was Megan. The character. I could never figure out why she would help them, then suddenly turn on them at the end. the twist never sat right with me.

The producers explained the backstory better than the movie did. Apparently Ryan SENT her to scope the area out, and she got infected. She wanted to leave, but at the last moment, realized that she wouldnt, and turned on them (basically gave in to being a werewolf, grudgingly accepting fate)

For once, the commentary actually improved a movie for me, as opposed to just giving me cool insights (it did that in spades though)

Neat shit i leanred from the commentary:

The actor who played Joe played a Nazi in band of brothers because he speaks fluent german. He was complemented personally on the quality of his performance, and was mortified to find out the guy who praised him was Steven Speilberg, and he hadnt realized he was talking to him.

Cooper was originally cast to be played by Jason Statham (Snatch, The Transporter), but he chose to be in Ghosts of Mars instead.:rolleyes:

Ryan was originally going to be Bruce Payne. Thank GOD they didnt go with him....

The rifle that Spoon picks up, and is eventually used by Terry jammed constantly in real life, which is why teryy would fire a shot, then have to unjam it, and shoot again :)
