Retromedia's Destroy All Planets (a.k.a. Gamera vs. Viras) special edition, featuring a commentary track by Carl Craig (who played Jim Morgan in the film), is now available through Amazon.com. Joined by Oriental Cinema's Damon Foster and G-FAN's Brett Homenick, Carl Craig's commentary was recorded at G-FEST 2007 and proved to be highly entertaining.

UPDATE: Fred Olen Ray, the owner of Retromedia, responds to a nasty (in more ways than one) Amazon.com reviewer who hasn't even seen the DVD yet! Remember, kids, sometimes it's healthy to get out of the basement once in a while!
Since this program only became available yesterday it's physically impossible for "Ryan" to have seen it or even have received a copy of the DVD. Your "review" is a lie and obviously fueled by a personal agenda. Retromedia was the first company to ever present the AIP-TV Gamera films to the public on DVD and quickly became the source of material for all the cheap DVD labels that flooded the market afterwards. Retromedia also successfully initiated and won a copyright case based on their release of DESTROY ALL PLANETS, so your claim of illegality is BS as well. This DVD doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It's simply the best edition of the AIP-TV version of the film ever released on DVD and it has an actors commentary track with star Carl Craig. That's all it advertises as being and that's what it is. Next time try watching the film first before rendering your "opinion", and if you happen to work for a rival DVD company, I'd have to say I'm disappointed... these kind of smear tactics are nothing less than juvenile.
