Video:
Much of this movie is set indoors in gymnasiums and Christopher Walken’s ping-pong palace, so the 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen image frequently varies between dim and dark. There is some use of edge enhancement. However, yellows and reds are very vibrant. Outdoors shots look a tad blown out and grainy, but on the whole, the picture looks like what one would expect of something from the past year.

Audio:
As this is not an out-and-out action fest, the DD 5.1 English track is center-channel heavy. As such, you get always intelligible dialogue and smooth, crisp delivery of music cues. Occasionally, there are some rear-channel effects, but deep ends appear very sporadically (such as during the title credits sequence with fake fire).

You can also watch the movie with a DD 5.1 French dub. Optional English SDH, Spanish, and French subtitles support the audio.

Extras:
This is a slight movie, so the extras are suitably slight, too. Upon loading, the disc plays previews for other movies and products. You get deleted scenes and an alternate ending, and “Balls Out: The Making of Balls of Fury” is a fluffy promo piece. “Under the Balls: The Life of a Ball Wrangler” is a mockumentary piece about the girl who takes care of the balls used for this movie, but we’ve already seen this kind of shtick elsewhere.
