DVD Description
Following the phenomenal success of By Any Means Wicklow to Sydney, Charley Boorman is back with a brand new adventure.
Last year Charley set off from his childhood home in Ireland and made his way across the globe, using over 100 different forms of transport before successfully finishing the expedition in Sydney, Australia.
From Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means follows the adventurer extraordinaire as he rides, rows and flies his way 9, 500 miles north from his last stop in Sydney up the Pacific Rim to Japan's capital, Tokyo.
Using quad bikes, hovercrafts, wooden scooters, canoes, para-gliders and of course his favourite mode of transport - motorbike - Charley travels across vibrant cities, treacherous seas and impenetrable jungle and experiences some of the world’s most stunning and diverse countries and cultures. Along the way he encounters fascinating people in some of the most isolated communities. He meets and makes friends with everyone from surfer dudes in Australia to Tribal leaders in Papua New Guinea and learns of the history, religions and ways of life of the local people he is with.
Encapsulating some truly awe-inspiring experiences, From Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means DVD is packed with adventure, motorbikes and Charley's enthusiasm for the world and its people.

Having watched Ewan & Charley's 'Long Way Round' and 'Long Way Down'; and also Charley's 'Race to Dakar' and 'By Any Means (to Sydney)' I have to say that this latest offering from Charley is absolutely stunning compared to the aforementioned offerings.
This time around there is less of the "ME"-factor from Charley and more of the "Hey folks, look, I'm using all the means of transport available but that's not really important, look at the countries I'm traveling through and the cultures I'm experiencing."
All in all this is a very entertaining, fascinating and informative production, making one realise that the Australia and the Pacific Rim Archipelago has more to it than it would seem at first. Also, the odd quirky or amazing means of transport pops up here and there, plus some super customizing of cars and bikes is shown.
My only gripe is that perhaps a bit more of Claudio could be featured as he appears to be a charming person with a screen personality of his own (but then it wouldn't be Charley's film, would it?)
But that aside, I will heartily recommend this production to anyone that wishes to experience a bit of the Pacific Rim area vicariously - you will not be disappointed. (I would also recommend the other items mentioned if they are not already a part of your collection - but I guess I'm preaching to the converted.)

I have followed Charley's adventures from Long Way Round to Sydney to Tokyo. I found this trip better than the first (Ireland to Sydney) mainly because I don't think Russ who followed Charley on his first trip had much to do with this one. Charley on this trip was more in control of were he went and what they decided to show us the viewer. Although the trip was not completely done on motor-bikes I still enjoyed it immensely, a really good way to pass an afternoon over the Christmas.

`Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means' is the continuation of Charley Boorman`s epic travel adventure and this time he travels up the pacific rim from Australia to Japan. There are six episodes, each mainly focusing on a country (Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan and Japan) and this takes in vibrant cities and remote jungles and everything in between. Charley's sense of delight and adventure is infectious and as with the first series, I enjoyed this more for Ewan McGregor being missing as Charley thrives on his own and is more entertaining. There are a vast range of vehicles utilised throughout, from quad bikes to boats, spitfires to tanks and rickshaws to motorbikes and more besides. There are bonus features including Charley's twitter diary and extra clips. Charley experiences some amazing things and we get to enjoy them with him, although I am glad it was Charley eating the turtles testicles and not me! This is an interesting and action packed adventure and well worth watching if you have enjoyed his other travel series`.
