He's "recruited" into an army that trains its soldiers to use their bare heads as battering rams, only to be slaughtered by modern troops with machine guns and flame throwers. He's later captured by the Inquisition, which turns into a tapestry of masked muscle-bound torturers, naked women led into a giant meat grinder, electric guitars, and a black dude being lynched by the KKK...Audio - Italian and German Audio Options Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) - Anamorphic Widescreen - Optional English and German Subtitles - 2 Disc Limited Edition - Audio Commentary with Christian Kebler and Marcus Stiglegger Documentary "Around the World in 15 Years" Trailer Featurette "A Farewell to Mondo" Featurette "Making up Voltaire
