  1. Warning: The digital hd movie offered on Amazon for $14.99 does NOT include any bonus material. All other streaming sites (Vudu, iTunes, Google, etc) DOES include the bonus material for $14.99. Amazon does not advertise this on their purchase page so you might order the movie and be greatly disappointed when you access it and find out there is no bonus features.
