Long before Rat Race, director Stanley Kramer put together a cast of notable comic talents and sent them on a madcap chase around the country looking for lost loot. Now, MGM has seen fit to release It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in a solid DVD package that's sure to satisfy fans of the film. The picture is presented in a 16 x 9 widescreen transfer. As this is an older film, the print has a bit of wear and tear, though nothing to get upset over. It's certainly better than most VHS editions. Sound is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and is a worthy treatment, though nothing earth-shaking. Extras include a lengthy documentary on the making of the film, a truckload of extended scenes, and a pair of trailers. With such a fine cast, many of whom are still living, a commentary track would have been welcome. However, even without it, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is offered in a fine DVD edition and is certainly worth owning.
This double feature includes The Transporter and The Transporter 2 action films about a professional "transporter" played by Jason Statham who moves package no questions asked.

Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages. Supplemental materials include two different commentary tracks recorded by various people involved in the production of the film, commentary on the score from composer Elliot Goldenthal, storyboards with optional commentary, trailers, and production notes. This disc will more than please the casual fan, but the ardent enthusiast is encouraged to pick-up the two-disc set with even more goodies.
