The "Extras" section of this DVD was as enjoyable as any I've ever seen.
In the "behind the scenes" features they point out a layer of satire that I hadn't noticed. All of the locations are presented as stereotypes of what Americans think a given location should look like.
For instance Cairo, a large metropolitan city, is presented as a small dusty village (a la "Indiana Jones") with pyramids and the Sphynx in the background.
Paris is presented as though the Arc du Triomphe, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are all in the same plaza. (For those of you in Rio Linda, this is not the case.) Look closely, and you'll notice my favorite sight gag in the movie: french-poodle topiary!
