Here's How Jumanji: The Next Level Pulled Off Its Most Ridiculous Scene

The time has come. Jumanji: The Next Level is now available on digital release, allowing you to relive the antics of Dr. Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), and the rest of the Jumanji gang in the sequel to the 2017 film. The physical release of the film on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K comes March 17.

Whether you plan on picking up the digital copy now or a physical version when it's released, there is a plethora of special features you'll be able to get your hands on, including the featurette below that looks at one of the most over-the-top and utterly ridiculous scenes in the film.

Early on in Jumanji 2, Bravestone and his cohorts end up on the run from, of all things, an army of wild ostriches. The scene includes some wild dune buggy action throughout a desert that oftentimes looks unreal. However, as writer/director Jake Kasdan explained, that's simply not the case.

"That scene has a tremendous amount of real stuff in it," he said. "They're real people, they're really in the desert, they're really racing those cars around. And I think that it has that visceral reality to it that you can only get by going out there and racing cars around."

Of course, it's not Johnson and the rest of his cast driving over the dunes. These scenes were filmed in California, while the cast was shooting the rest of the movie in Hawaii. The only solution was to ship dune buggies and a massive rig to flip them around over to where production was being held. The end result is some very fun footage in the clip above, showing the cast tumbling around and flipping upside down in front of a blue screen, which was then inserted into the desert footage.

This is just a small example of the extra footage you can see on the home release of Jumanji: The Next Level. Take a look at the breakdown of what featurettes are included in the various versions below.
