Team America / World Police: Uncensored and Unrated / 4 of 5
6.18.2005 5:31 PM \| Link	From the moment I left the theater after seeing Team America, I knew I had to buy the DVD. Of course, the main reason was because there was such a fuss about the portions of the sex scene that had to be removed for the theater, and they're included in the DVD (which is why this version is unrated). There are about three new two-second segments (involving bodily functions, of course), and they are pretty darn funny! Besides the complete sex scene, the DVD includes lots of other goodies, mainly in the form of short documentaries (I wish they would have cut it all together into one "making of" feature, though). It's fascinating to see the marionettes themselves (which were about two-feet tall) and how they were controlled, including all the servos in their heads that allow their facial expressions to be manipulated by remote control. The sets are really huge (large scale miniatures), and they show how they did lots of crane shots that would be impossible in the "real world" because of the scale difference. I have a greater appreciation for this amazing spoof of the action film genre - it's pretty cool how they really duplicated so many of the cliche things you see in Bruckheimer films! From the awesome music to the hilarious dialogue ("I promise I will never die!"), I'm glad I have Team America in my collection. Labels: dvds
