08/27/2007 - 00:00

Reaching the top of both the US and UK box offices and achieving John Travolta's biggest ever opening weekend box office in the UK, Wild Hogs has gone on to become one of the hit comedies of the year. Soon to be available on both standard and Blu-ray formats, the DVD is packed with not-to-be-missed bonus material that will take fans behind the scenes and aboard the Hog's journey.

With a stellar cast of Hollywood heavyweights, Wild Hogs is the story of four aging bikers - John Travolta, William H. Macy, Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence - who decide to rev up their daily routines by dusting off their old leather jackets and embarking on one last trip into the wilderness. Free from their fun-sucking wives, fears of their midlife crises begin to fade but the masculine posturing of the 'rough and ready' motorcycle gang doesn't last long. Out on the road they fall foul of a real biker gang - the Del Fuegos, led by tough guy Ray Liotta - who are reigning terror on a small town they stumble across.

The film follows the foursome as they come to the rescue of the town's inhabitants, experience the highs and lows of life on the road and discover that their own lives aren't so bad after all. Packed with never-before-seen bonus features - including a 'making of' feature, snippets of behind-the-scenes footage, interviews dissecting the character, outtakes, an alternative ending and a hilarious guide on 'How To Persuade Your Wife To Let You Buy A Harley' - the Wild Hogs DVD promises the journey of a lifetime.

Four guys, 2000 miles...how wild can it get?

Story Synopsis
Four hit the road in this full-throttle comedy-adventure about a group of middle-aged friends who decide to rev up their routine suburban lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can't wait to feel the freedom of the open road. When this mismatched foursome, who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle, set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience - they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for. The trip begins to challenge their wits and their luck, especially during a chance run-in with the Del Fuegos, a real-life biker gang who are less than amused with their novice approach. As they go looking for adventure, they soon find that they've embarked on a journey they will never forget.
