The fifth disc of this release contains a number of great featurettes. Featuring new interviews with the cast and crew members, the featurettes cover a variety of aspects of the making of the movie as well as the historic background of the film. Especially the cast featurette is incredibly exciting, and particularly hearing everyone talk about Toshiro Mifune, who is probably one of Japan’s greatest actors ever, is definitely worth checking out.
But all the other featurettes are equally well produced and offer a wealth of insight and additional information, so make sure to check them all out. They will help increase your understanding of the Japanese culture at the time and also give you more insight into some of the key aspects of the production.
Director Jerry London also offers insight into the production on a commentary track for selected scenes on this disc. Featuring some of the key moments from the film, the commentary is extremely insightful and adds great value to the release.
Paramount is delivering a spectacular package here. As if the film alone wouldn’t be staggering enough, for a change, Paramount has added some spectacular bonus features. They are exceedingly well produced and will please every fan of the film with their insightful look at the film. "Shogun" is clearly a must-buy, must-own DVD. It is a spectacularly rich movie and an impressive DVD release that deserves our highest award!
