Fun fact: The longest "Making of" documentary made for a Marvel film is for Elektra (2005) clocking in at 2 hours 20 minutes.

The "Making of" documentary was split into two parts:
* Relentless: The Making of Elektra – Part 1: Production (87:14)
* Relentless: The Making of Elektra – Part 2: Post‑Production (53:09)

The Blu-ray/DVD also has *Elektra: Incarnations* (52:46) documentary which goes in detail about the comic origins of the character.

I mean.. its a fact, but is it really fun?

BobTheFettt2025-10-21 16:41

How can they possibly have enough to talk about that production to fill that amount of time?

You can check out the documentary [here.](https://youtu.be/WfOW381RD1I?si=n9Z00dPYxJIOcNdT)

They should really make a making-of for this making-of.

the_bashful2025-10-21 17:29

Heads of every department, key actors and creatives all explaining that they did the best with what they had while obliquely hinting that it was *someone else’s* fault that the movie ended up the way it did.

No_Imagination_24902025-10-21 18:25

Maybe they spend a lot of time on the 'why' rather than the 'how'?

Jason25712025-10-21 16:51

Makes me wonder what the longest 'Making of' documentary is for any film ever

JonSpangler2025-10-21 16:54

Lord of the Rings Extended editions have hours of stuff each movie. Not even counting stuff like four commentary tracks per movie.

Prometheus also has a long documentary

tannu282025-10-21 17:05

LOTR DVDs have an extensive collection of featurettes.

Prometheus has a *The Furious Gods: Making Prometheus* which is 3 hours and 40 minutes long.

What is "Play All", but just a long documentary?

nathtendo2025-10-21 17:02

With how shit that film turned out and all the wild shit behind the scenes I bet those documentaries are better than the actual film.

ccReptilelord2025-10-21 17:08

This was approaching the zenith of DVD extras being filled with "behind the scenes" extras.

Silo-Joe2025-10-21 18:09

Recently watched the extras for Weapons. Those were very generically produced and disappointing. Some of those featurettes reused each other's contents.

The Directors Cut of Elektra is only 1h40m, for comparison.

TylerBourbon2025-10-21 18:07

That is roughly 1h40m longer than the amount of time anyone has spent watching it.

NeoZ33D2025-10-21 17:19

😂 "Fun"

RoastMasterShawn2025-10-21 17:32

I bet the making of is probably way better than the movie itself.

drnprz2025-10-21 17:42

anyone watched the whole thing?

Dewdad2025-10-21 17:42

I didn't know this, I might have to get a copy to watch the making of. If you like making of features peter jacksons king kong has a 2 hour making of documentary that starts in the 90s when they were going to make it before LOTR and then that didn't happen, they made LOTR and then went back to kong and the making of is pretty incredible as it goes every phase of the production.

tannu282025-10-21 18:41

You can watch the doc [here ](https://youtu.be/WfOW381RD1I?si=FncN5GYB9kNuIoF8) on YouTube.

This movie was murdered by execs... it had a decent script to start, but then they ripped everything even barely ok away

nobadhotdog2025-10-21 18:07

Do see pubes or some shit? why's it unrated?
