When a new DVD comes in, I tend to go straight for the special features. When I got “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” I started looking for a specific deleted — or as the DVD’s menu, which is designed to look like a Kazakh bootleg puts it, “censored” — scene. The theatrical trailer contains a few seconds of Borat leading a charge in what looks like a Civil War reenactment, but the scene didn’t make the theatrical cut.

It isn’t among the “censored” scenes, either. “There was only so much room on the disc,” Steve Felstein, senior vice president at Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. “There’s a lot of great stuff that didn’t make it.” But which will turn up on the inevitable two-disc special edition? “You can assume you’ll see it someday,” Steve replied.

Besides a selection of hilarious deleted scenes, this must-buy DVD (out Tuesday) contains a “propaganda” section with a series of, uh, colorful premieres around the world, and TV appearances that Sacha Baron Cohen made in character as Borat — most unforgettably, getting jiggy with Martha Stewart on “The Tonight Show.”
