On the set of Oliver W Scott's Yellow Brick (1986).

So I just got my copy of the Yellow Brick collector's edition bluray, and I thought I would share some of the behind the scenes-material! I just love this film, I think it’s one of the best depictions ever of the Oz-American war in cinema, and Oliver W Scott’s best film, period (Yellow Brick is the second film in his "Oz-trilogy"). Much of this is quoted from the booklet.



Scott based much of the film on his own experiences in Oz 1968-70, but the tale of a band of soldiers fighting their way towards an Emerald City under siege, slowly slipping into paranoia and conflict, is larger than the story of one person.

(Sidenote: I guess the aluminium cover on the bluray makes it more “exclusive”, but I’m a fan of the original poster (above) and I kinda hoped they would have used it more in the design...)
