Sacha Baron Cohen’s ingeniously funny Borat is now on Blu-ray, with even more extras from Borat’s hilarious journey across the “US and A!” With a camera crew in tow and armed with a jar of gypsy tears “for protection,” Kazakhstan’s fourth most famous celebrity travels to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the country, lovably naive Borat confronts real people in real situations – with hilariouys consequences!

Trivia:

When Sacha Baron Cohen speaks Kazakh it is mostly Hebrew disguised by a heavy fake Eastern European accent. The Hebrew is quite understandable and contains many in-jokes. Baron Cohen admitted this in a rare “out of character” radio interview on National Public Radio in the USA.

The police were called on Sacha Baron Cohen 91 times during the production of this film.

Original director Todd Phillips left the production after shooting the rodeo/”Star Spangled Banner” scene, citing “creative differences”.

The character of Borat originated as a sketch on the British TV show “Da Ali G Show” (2000).

Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Steve Martin, all of whom are huge fans of Sacha Baron Cohen, contacted him about having a cameo in the movie. But Baron Cohen refused because it would have ruined some of the gags if they knew what was going on.
