National Lampoon Presents - Mr Wong
Synopsis of National Lampoon Presents Mr. WongWeb-based company Icebox's controversial and often hilarious cartoon Mr. Wong comes to DVD in a jam-packed package from the fine folks at National Lampoon and Maverick Entertainment. Containing 14 episodes plus a never-befor-seen one, this disc is a great collection that only gets better with its extras. Bonus features include a movie trailer, animatics, concept art, outtakes, recipes, character bios, and even a fake sex tape featuring Mr. Wong and Mamie van Doren that contain either new content or unearthed footage especially for this DVD. Most notable, however, are the extras that feature two very special guest stars, starting with a voice-over by producer extraordinaire Robert Evans in the Poetry Corner/Story Time segments. The other guest star has been brought on to supply a commentary on all the episodes, even though he had never seen the show before; last seen in the Project Grizzly documentary, Troy Hurtubise is an eccentric backwoods type that just so happens to create padded suits in which to wrestle grizzly bears -- and yes, he also just happens to appear on this disc's commentary track! Apparently the show's creators thought it would be funny to put Hurtubise on and it turns out that they were right. His comments are strange and often shocking, but nevertheless humorous for both of those reasons. Even if you're not a fan of the cartoon, this is a choice DVD that needs to be seen to be believed. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
