Apr. 1, yes it is April
Fools’ Day, but in the case of Paramount Home Media’s home entertainment
release of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues they are not joking or
playing pranks when they say that there will be more jokes — 763 to be exact —
than were seen in the original PG-13 rated theatrical release.
The Blu-ray/DVD Combo
Pack contains both viewing options — the original theatrical cut and a
“super-size R-rated version.” There
will also be a stand-alone DVD edition of the theatrical cut (PG-13 rated).
There are over 90 minutes
of deleted and alternate takes, outtakes, 2 gag reels, audition tapes, five
featurettes — “Newsroom,” “RV,” “News Fight,” “Baxter & Doby” and
“Anchorman 2: The Musical” — and commentary on the unrated version featuring
writer/director Adam McKay, actors Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd and
David Koechner and producer Judd Apatow.
All of these bonus
goodies are exclusive to the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack.
Kudos to Will Ferrell who
promoted this comedy — in character as Ron Burgundy — for months on end in the
lead up to the film’s launch.
His work
paid off handsomely with $124.8 million in domestic ticket sales — exceeding
the results of the first film, which pulled in $90.6 million.
