A question about the new BORAT dvd please? | Thread profile

Hope I'm on the right board for this? But this is bothering me, as I never seen a disc like this, but with BORAT, who knows, I suppose anything is possible? But was just wondering if anyone got this dvd at all today? I got mine, but got it through Netflix, where they claim they also have a "bonus disc", which I never heard of, and they skipped over it, even though BORAT & the BORAT bonus disc ...

That's the way it's supposed to look. It all makes sense when it's seen in the context of the whole DVD package. Much like the soundtrack CD release, the actual DVD case (which is inside one of those cardboard slipcases, and one of the few times I actually appreciate them using this waste of packaging) is designed to look like a bootleg.

All of the content listed on Netflix's site is present on the single-disc release under "Surplus Material" (the "Rodeo News Report" and "Kazakhstan Baywatch Spoof" are present in the "Censored ...

Right. You got what I was getting at. I should have pointed out the retitling of the Rodeo News Report and the Kazakhstan Baywatch Spoof, as all of the menu items are given awkward retitlings to give them that "translated from English and back into English" feel. Same with "Global Propaganda Tour" being the Kazakh equivalent of "World Promotion Tour." Netflix somehow probably got the ...
