Cunning Stunts was released in DVD and VHS formats. The title is also a spoonerism of the term "Stunning Cunts".
Filmed in Fort Worth, Texas as the Poor Touring Me tour wound down, the DVD features over 140 minutes of live concert footage, band interviews, documentaries and behind-the-scenes footage. Also included is a viewer controlled choice of camera angle for three songs (Bitch, Bellz, and Roam) as well as a photo gallery with almost 1,000 photos from just about every stop of the tour.
During the performance of the song "Enter Sandman", the entire stage is set to appear to collapse and explode, with pyrotechnics and a technician (referred to in the extras as the "Burning Dude") who runs across the stage while on fire, as another technician swings overhead.
This is also one of the only Metallica concerts that didn't feature "The Ecstasy of Gold" as an intro.
