From Cinedigm, the popular Taken franchise, starring Liam Neeson, is getting spoofed in the Tooken movie. With the DVD arriving in stores, check out Lee Tergesen (Oz), Reno Wilson (Mike & Molly) and Margaret Cho (Dancing With The Stars) as they deliver the laughs in the outrageous comedy, Tooken.

As we previously mentioned, Tooken takes a satirical spoof at Liam Neeson's retired CIA character. According to the plot synopsis, Bryan Millers (Tergesen) has become a Prius-driving mall cop with a special set of skills. Stripped of his wife Lenore (Lauren Stamile), dog, and daughter Kim (Laura-Leigh)'s virginity. Millis joins forces with his retired ex-CIA mother, Edna (Joyce Bulifant) to fight his nemesis and save the day before Brown Finger (Cho) blows up the entire world.

The crazy comedy also features a list of special appearances by Donnie Wahlberg (Blue Bloods) and talk show host Jenny McCarthy (The View), Ethan Suplee (My Name Is Earl), Michael Blackson (The Savages) and Lukas Haas (Inception), along with hip hop artist Akon (American Heist).

In our MStars interview, Cho described her action sequence in the movie with Tergesen, "t's really over the top! We trained for it a long time. We were actually working on trying to make it look real, like a fight. I've haven't done stuff like that. I'm not a physical person. I don't have that In my life. It was actually kind of a hard workout to do all that fight choreography and to learn how to make it look insane. We really laughed. It was really fun to do! It was a crazy all night shoot but it was an amazing experience."

Check out this laugh-out-loud clip here:

The Cho Show comedian adds, "I mean it was so much funny, fun, and really rewarding. I think people are gonna laugh. I'm really proud of it!"

Tooken is available on Digital HD and the DVD is in stores now.
