NTSC/Region 0. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman begin a twenty thousand mile trip by motorcycle around the world, travelling through Europe, Mongolia and Canada. Seven one hour episodes. Long Way Round documents the adventures of film stars Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge, Star Wars) and Charley Boorman on their 20,000 mile motor bike trip around the world. Departing from London on 14th April 2004 the pair travelled through Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska, Canada arriving in the USA just over 3 months later. Along the way the intrepid pair encountered Kalashnikov-toting gangsters and extreme cuisine, survived numerous motorised scrapes often whilst traversing non existent roads days from the nearest hospital and found themselves alarmingly close to a hungry grizzly bear. They arrived at their final destination, New York, on 29th July and this DVD release tells the story from the eyes of the two film stars. EMI.

Summary: Long Way Round
Comment: Ewan and Charley have created a Document reflecting Our World today.
On a Trek from England to New York City, the long way, these two amature Motorcycle enthusists travel across Europe, the Soviet Union, and America documenting the quality of life of the people and children on their way. Much geographical and political information as well as a few good laughs. Pg13 as this is an ad-lib, no script documentery with a dash of colorful language here and there. Very educational for older children that do not understand how well we have it in the US of A.
A "Must See" for Motorcyle Travelers and a "Should See" for all that care about the conditions of our world today.

Summary: Great DVD!
Comment: I received this for my birthday and enjoyed every minute of the series! Ewan and Charley ride the ultimate ride that I also want to do. After seeing the Road of Bones in Russia though, I don't know that I'm up to the challenge. If you ride--buy this and watch them experience the ride of a lifetime!

Summary: Inspiring, Funny, Heart-Breaking Adventure!
Comment: This is a fantastic modern-day adventure story of two close friends who decide to take a trip around the world on their motorcycles. Of course, because one of them is well-known and liked actor Ewan McGregor, this is a high budget, sponsor-laden trip that I'm sure cost somewhere between one and two million dollars to make considering all of the support personnel, film resources and on-the-road support that they were given. But "good for them". They came up with a great idea and found the right people to share in their dreams. Their adventure takes them through 12 countries, beginning in London and ending in New York City, and they travel some 12,000 miles in the process. Along the way they encounter all sorts of obstacles, wonderful people and places, and discover a new sense of strength and accomplishment that neither of them had known before. It's a great story about two great and very likable guys. It's a must have video for any motorcyclist's library, or anyone who dreams of taking a real-life adventure!
