DVD Commentaries-----Preparation?

I wonder how long it takes for Mr. Lee to record a DVD commentary? Is just one "run through" or are there retakes or various versions? Anyone know?

I'm pretty sure it's just one take.
Set the person(s) in front of the mike, roll the movie and
record whevever they have to say.

Jacob is right, he does them in one go. It is then up to the producers to edit everything else out.

I find myself amazed at how well Mr. Lee recalls the films he is commenting on. I'm also bewildered that Warner Bros did not approach him to do a commentary on The Mummy or their Region 2 DVD for She. One can only hope they will rectify their mistake when they get around to Horror of Dracula and Curse of Frankenstein.
