Whoops (your ad here)

The year’s box office champ, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” (Disney $35), sets sail today in a special two-disc set with a treasure trove of extras.

There’s even a documentary on the revamping of the popular Disneyland ride to incorporate characters from the films. Other added attractions include a lengthy documentary on the arduous production, a detailed examination of star Johnny Depp’s costume, hair and makeup, the computer creation of Davy Jones and the Kraken monster, footage of the world premiere in June at Disneyland, producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s photographs from the set and unassuming commentary from screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who discuss the challenges of writing two sequels in succession. Perhaps the oddest feature is the blooper reel, because it has a corporate sponsor: Verizon Wireless.

“Dead Man’s Chest” isn’t the only DVD arriving today with a corporate tag -- the Emmy Award-winning fifth season of Fox’s “24” (Fox, $60) features a Toyota-sponsored preview of the first episode of the upcoming sixth season.

The seven-disc set has documentaries on casting, the cinematography and music scoring, 23 extended and deleted scenes, a 100th-episode reel and pictures from the upcoming book “24: Behind the Scenes.”

The discs also feature numerous audio commentaries, including one on the first episode with star and producer Kiefer Sutherland and director Jon Cassar.

Also new

“Walt Disney Legacy Collection -- True Life Adventures” (Disney, $32 each): From 1948 to 1960, Walt Disney produced a series of Oscar-winning short and feature-length nature documentaries. Four volumes of these beautifully produced films are being released today -- Disney’s birthday. Among the titles are “Beaver Valley,” “Seal Island,” “Nature’s Strangest Creatures,” “Nature’s Half Acre” and “The Living Desert.”

Extras include intros from Roy Disney -- Walt’s nephew, who worked on the series -- more nature documentaries and a tribute to filmmaker James Algar.

“Lubitsch in Berlin” (Kino, $30 each): Ernst Lubitsch came to Hollywood in the mid-1920s and for the next two decades made some of the most sophisticated and enchanting comedies of the era, including “Trouble in Paradise,” “The Shop Around the Corner” and “Ninotchka.” Kino is releasing four recently restored features and one short from his formative years as a German filmmaker.

Highlights include two projects he made with his frequent leading lady Pola Negri. The exotic 1920 “Sumurun,” a drama with comedic elements, is about a rebellious harem girl who falls for a merchant. In it Negri plays a seductive dancer in a traveling show, with Lubitsch as a hunchback musician who loves her. Even more entertaining is the 1921 comedy “Wildcat,” never released in the U.S. This subversive satire on the military finds Negri playing a bandit who falls in love with a lieutenant.

Rounding out the collection are 1919’s “The Oyster Princess” and 1920’s “Anna Boleyn.”

“The Conformist” (Paramount, $15): An “extended” edition of Bernardo Bertolucci’s watershed 1970 drama about a young Italian (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who works as an assassin for the fascists and is sent to Paris to murder his old teacher, now a political nonconformist. Extras include three featurettes with compelling interviews with Bertolucci and his noted cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro. Unfortunately, clips from the annoying dubbed version of the film are used in these mini-documentaries. The same holds true with featurettes on the two-disc special collector’s edition of Bertolucci’s 1976 epic, “1900” ($20).

“The Premiere Frank Capra Collection” (Sony, $60): Four of the films in this super collection -- “It Happened One Night,” “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,” “You Can’t Take It With You” and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” -- had been released on DVD, but the set marks the digital bow of the recently restored 1932 Depression-era drama, “American Madness,” starring Walter Huston and Pat O’Brien.

All the films feature affectionate commentary from the Oscar-winning director’s eldest son, Frank Capra Jr. Also included is the documentary “Frank Capra’s American Dream,” hosted by Ron Howard.

“Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton Film Collection” (Warner, $50): The highlight of the five-movie collection is the riveting two-disc set of their best film together, 1966’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” which marked the feature directorial debut of Mike Nichols. Taylor and Sandy Dennis won Oscars for their bravura turns in this lauded adaptation of Edward Albee’s play.

Extras include two new featurettes on the history of the production and how the film’s language and subject matter helped end the strict production code, Dennis’ revelatory screen test (she appears opposite Roddy McDowell), technical commentary with cinematographer Haskell Wexler, and stimulating discussion with Nichols and director Steven Soderbergh.

Other films in the collection are the insipid 1965 romance “The Sandpiper,” which is best known today for its Oscar-winning standard, “The Shadow of Your Smile,” and two juicy ensemble melodramas -- 1963’s “The VIPs,” for which Margaret Rutherford won an Oscar for supporting actress, and 1967’s “The Comedians.”

“The Wim Wenders Collection, Vol. 2” (Anchor Bay, $90): Eclectic collection of fictional and documentary films from the German director of “Paris, Texas,” “Wings of Desire” and “Buena Vista Social Club” -- his acclaimed 1977 thriller “The American Friend”; his controversial 1980 portrait of dying director Nicholas Ray, “Lightning Over Water”; the 1973 adaptation of “The Scarlet Letter”; the 1975 drama “Wrong Move”; and the documentaries “Room 666,” “Tokyo Ga,” “A Trick of Light” and “Notebook on Cities & Clothes.” The soft-spoken director supplies commentary on each film.

Also out today: “Saturday Night Live -- The Complete First Season” (Universal, $70); “Mission: Impossible -- The Complete First Season” (Paramount, $50); Michael Mann’s feature version of “Miami Vice” (Universal, $30).
