They simply filmed too much footage and subplots. This is a comilation of excised footage from the Anchorman film. It is not a sequel, but as I said in the Plot Summary, it is an 'Alternate Film'. There is not one frame of identical footage from the regular film included in Wake Up, Ron Burgundy. I have yet to see it for rent, but you can purchase it in the Ultimate Ron Burgundy 2-Pack, a 2-disc DVD that is somewhat limited compared to the other Anchorman DVD releases. I've seen many copies at my local Canadian Superstore for about $35. It's worth it.
And don't forget, there is also a 3rd Anchorman DVD disc out there. It was a Best Buy exclusive bonus disc with about 28 minutes of more footage on it. Personally, I own all three discs.
"And don't forget, there is also a 3rd Anchorman DVD disc out there. It was a Best Buy exclusive bonus disc with about 28 minutes of more footage on it. Personally, I own all three discs. "
I didn't find out about this disc until after I bought it elsewhere. I tried to find out some more about it, but I can't find anything. Can anybody help me?
Search for "Anchorman bonus" "Breaking News"(the actual name of the disc) "Anchorman Best Buy" "Anchorman BB" "Anchorman third (or 3rd)" "Anchorman rare" etc.
Right now there are only about 3 or 4 listings, and they don't get an more expensive than $10 or so. Good luck to you.
"There is not one frame of identical footage from the regular film included in Wake Up, Ron Burgundy. "
Thats actually a lie, you can tell that some scenes are the same as ones from the first movie. Like when Ron tells Veronica "I was excited. I read the news, and the big story today, in Ron Burgundy's world read something like this....I love Veronica Corningstone" and then his fantasy about Veronica cooking in the nude. Thats all I can think of off hand, but I'm positive there's more.
I see it on netflix but it doesnt say its available. odd...? I also see it for download so i guess I'll have to torrent it. too bad, I love the film but never heard of this 'version' untill today.
