Impact, and You..........2006-07-01

Warren Miller has long been one of my faviorite photographer's and nairators. Impact has his usual amounts of humor, and catchy lines. However, Think i have been spoiled by his previous movie Journey. Journey is the best of the warren miller movies to date in my opinion. The music in impact was fairly bland. Very Worth buying and adding to your collection by all means. However i'd buy journey first. As the line goes thou "your worst day on the mountian, is still better than your best day at work." So any chance i get to watch skiing action in june is time well spent.

Warren Millers Last Movie.......2005-12-21

This was the "last" movie that Warren Miller was officially a part of. And if you seriously count him as a part of this movie it just barely counts. He sold his company to his son Kurt a few years ago and then his son turned around and sold the company to Time-Warner. Warren Miller hated the direction the new commercialized films were going and his contract with the company ended with this film- and him doing as little as possible to be a part of it.

If you see endless product placements, self-serving arrogant skiiers talking about themselves (instead of actually skiing), and a lack of the charm and humor of the old Warren Miller movies you'll know why-- they are being churned out annually by a large corporation only interested in the bottom line.

I went and saw "Higher Ground" in the theatres and it was even more of a disappointment than "Impact". It was the last Warren Miller movie I will see in the theatres. As a lifetime fan it was a sad day.

This movie is average at best. If you want to see some quality ski films that embody what skiiers really believe and not some corporation trying to sell sponsorships (granola bars, Jeeps and cell phones) check out Terminal Gravity Research (TGR) or Matchstick Productions.

Not his best..........2005-12-06

I was very excited to receive IMPACT in the mail from Netflix, but was disappointed in Miller's latest effort. After such gems as COLD FUSION and STORM, this film didn't quite live up to the sequences of his previous films.
The Chamonix sequence was excellent, as was the sequence of snowboard jumping at Mammoth, but the film didn't have as much of Miller's dry humor or 1950s ski nostalgia, and I missed the obligatory base jump sequence, such as the spectacular winged suit jump from the top of the Eiger (in STORM, I believe). The soundtrack was not as stellar and varied as before. I simply was not as wowed as I was by his previous films. I hope this year's HIGHER GROUND returns to his more exciting, better shot films.

Too commercialized and...........2005-10-24

I bought this movie without seeing it first and have now watch it at least two times through. Some chapters, I watch several more times.

This movie has three things against it. First, I was very disappointed with the number of product placements in this movie. It takes alot away from the whole movie. Second, it has too much of the same stuff that can be seen in any recently released WM movie. Same people doing the same exact things. Third, the sound track was way below par.

I'm still a Warren Miller fan and the movie does have some good ski footage. But, I don't think the WM bunch went out of their way to make this a good ski movie.

Sick!.......2005-08-28

I an a huge Warren Miller fan and I must say that Impact is one of his best films. I recieved a pre-release copy of the dvd and I have watched it over 30 times. Impact is not someting you should go without!

This anthology of wrestling mayhem from Extreme Championship Wrestling promises an "emotional barbed wire hell," and it delivers. In one gory match, Terry Funk, whose specialty is taking more punishment than any sane person could stand, meets the evil and vicious Sabu in a ring surrounded with barbed wire. In their battle for the ECW World Heavyweight championship, it doesn't take long for them to be smeared with blood, beating the hell out of each other while hopelessly entangled in strands of wire. It eventually takes several men with tools to cut them free as the announcer proclaims that the action just witnessed is too brutal to ever be shown on television. In another match Steve Austin, before he became "Stone Cold" and attained primetime stardom, battles in a "three-way dance" with other notorious bad asses Mikey Whipwreck and the Sandman. And Mick Foley, in his "Cactus Jack" persona, tangles with Terry Funk and gets burned (literally).

Bonus footage includes an "aerial war" between Japanese and Mexican wrestlers that provides some diversion from the usual hardcore brutality, and in what's billed as the "Original Catfight," bad girls Beulah McGillicuddy and Francine drive the crowd wild by shedding all civility along with most of their clothing. While the production of this DVD is reasonably professional, that doesn't detract from the decidedly gnarly and low-rent feel ECW fans adore. Fans of more tame and cartoonish wrestling should be warned that the blood does flow freely in some of these matches. --Robert J. McNamara

One of the best DVDs ever........2007-04-19

Every match is a classic. ECW was so much better than it is now!!!! Why can't Vince grow some grapefruits and bring back at least at SMALL PART of what ECW used to be? If you like wrestling this is a MUST BUY. I have watched this MANY times over and it's still entertaining. This stuff will never be duplicated!

Real ECW.......2007-02-12

This is ECW, the way it was meant to be seen. Not a watered down version on Sci Fi. I cant understand how they released dvds and still managed to go bankrupt. WCW never released any dvds, but ECW had no money (apparently) and still released quailty action. A diffent buy if your a ECW fan.

Stone Cold, Barbed Wire, Ring Breaking, Catfighting Action.......2006-05-28

This is basically a compilation of matches from various ECW TV shows & PPV's with an introduction to each match by Joey Styles.

ECW Champion Mickey Whipwreck vs. Sandman vs. Steve Austin - This was Austin's second (and last) match in ECW & was better than his first one. The match itself was nothing much past that historical factor as it was mostly brawling between all three men.

Barbed Wire Match: ECW Champion Terry Funk vs. Sabu - This was the most brutial match in ECW history as they just got so entangled in the barbed wire that they had to be cut apart for minutes after the match. Even manager Bill Alfonzo was bleeding during this match. Certain parts of the match had Sabu's bicept ripped apart & the barbed wire was wrapped around Funk's neck to the point where he kept getting poked whenever he breathed. It's so violent that if you watched the "Bloodsport" DVD that WWE put out, Paul Heyman said (and I quote) "I never did another one because nobody could top that one...and I didn't want them to."
(Also available on "Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violent Matches")

Television Champion Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow - This was from Living Dangerously '98. This was really something to witness as it looked like a "david vs. goliath" match just from looking at the two but Taz did more than hold his own against Bigelow. Certain moments in the match include Bigelow punching through a piece of table straight to Taz's face & Taz being knocked out from hitting his head on the guardrail while suplexing Bigelow off the ramp into the crowd. The ending was really shocking & made a heavy impact to the point that then-WWF writer Terry Taylor openily admitted that he stole that idea & used it in WWF during an angle involving Undertaker & Big Show.
(Also available on "Rise & Fall Of ECW")

The Sandman & Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack & Shane Douglas - This was one of the wild brawls that ECW was remembered for as they had sinapore canes, guardrails in the ring, a toolbox complete with tools, and even a flaming branding iron. A classic ECW hardcore brawl from the early days of Extreme.
(Also available on "Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violent Matches")

Masato Tanaka & Jerry Lynn vs. Mike Awesome & Justin Credible - Their seperate fueds mixed with each other for this tag team match that actually came off very well. You get a good mix of wrestling here that you would expect from Lynn/Credible along with the stiff chair & table shots that you expect from Tanaka/Awesome.

Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Psicosis - This was from the late days of ECW where Psicosis returned to the ECW arena maskless (thanks WCW!). It was a good clash here between the two which showcases why Psicosis was underused in WCW for those who have only saw him there or in WWE as one of the Mexicools. Again, a good clash but nothing really memorable.

Francine vs. Beulah McGullicuty - This was dubbed as "The Original Catfight" and the catch was that Stevie Richards (Francine's boyfriend) was the referee while at the same time, he was tag team champions with Raven...who's girlfriend was Beulah. This I can't even classify as a match as it was just a segment to have hot women stripped down to their underwear & put over a storyline between all four participants. This was really nothing special unless your fans of Francine or Beulah...or love seeing hot women in their underwear.

Beulah McGillicutty vs. Bill Alfonso (in the Extreme Moments section) - Paul Heyman has called this match "5 of the most intense minutes in ECW history" as Alfonzo was nothing more than a 150 lbs. manager/former referee was bleeding so much that he makes Steve Austin's at WrestleMania 13 look like a papercut while Beulah put on some moves herself that were very impressive for being 105 lbs. untrained female. These two put on a better 5 minute match between each other that is actually better than alot of wrestlers can put together in 10 mins.
(Also available on "Bloodsport: ECW's Most Violent Matches")

The DVD extras the "Steve-amanic" promo and a hidden "Monday Niquil" promo by Steve Austin, and a promo by Cactus Jack. There's also a collage of the "Pulp Fiction" ECW promos including J.T. Smith, the Dudley's (before D-Von), Eliminators, Tommy Dreamer, Cactus Jack & Raven, Terry Funk, Bill Alfonzo, Tod Gordon, Steve Austin, Woman & Sandman, Mickey Whipwreck, Stevie Richards, Public Enemy along with those who have passed through ECW for a short time like the Steiner Brothers, Konnan, and Rey Mysterio.

The only flop I would say on this was the Beulah vs. Francine match (unless your just a fan of girls in their underwear) so I would recommend it.

Not the best ECW comp, but some good matches here........2004-03-09

Here we go:

1. Mikey Whipwreck Vs. Steve Ausin Vs. The Sandman - 3-way elimination match - Whipwreck won the ECW Championship and a fluke and now finds himself between 2 pissed-off drunks. Should've been good, but was pretty boring and way too long. *1/2

2. Terry Funk Vs. Sabu - Barbed Wire match - Sabu wrestled this match shirtless, which is insane in a barbed-wire match. Both men get shredded like crazy with Sabu actually having to tape his arm mid-match because it was bleeding to bad. ***1/2

3. Taz Vs. Bam Bam Bigalow - Kinda slow with bug moves here and then, including a BIG move to finish the match. ***

4. Terry Funk/Sandman Vs. Cactus Jack/Shane Douglas - Wild ECW brawl that uses chairs, tables, canes and everything else they could find. ****

5. Masata Tanaka/Jerry Lynn Vs. Mike Awesome/Justin Credible - 2 feuds collide in 1 tag team match. Awesome/Tanaka is always great, but throw in Jerry Lynn and you've got a great match. ****

6. Psicosis Vs. Tajiri - Both men work the mat with Tajiri kicking the crap outta Psicosis and Psych throwing the aerial moves in between. ****1/2

7. Francine Vs. Beulah - Raven and Steven Richards are guest refs. Francine is with Steven whose with Raven whose with Beulah.. I think I have that right. Not really a match, but you almost see puppies! - DUD

8. Fonzie Vs. Beulah - (In extra section) - Fonzie must've eaten 10 asperins with his bottle of vodka cause he taps a Mutoh scale bloodbath. Like the barbed wire match, it's actually disturbing, but knowing Fonzie somehow survived a loss of most of his blood is amazing!

It is EXTREME........2003-09-02

Sandman v. Mikey Whipwreck v. Steve Austin
Slow match but there is some technical wrestling mostly from Austin. Austin eliminates Mikey with the Stun Gun. Sandman pins Austin after Woman puts Brass Knucks on the Sandman's hand and he knocks out Austin but Austin gets his foot on the bottom rope yet the ref misses. An ok match.

Sabu v. Terry Funk in a Barb wire match
If you saw the Sandman/Raven Barb wire Death Match from ECW Extreme Evolution
then this match makes that match look like a WCW Hardcore match.
You won't believe what happens to Bill Alfonzo.

The Sandman and Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. not a bad tornado match.

Taz v. Bam Bam Bigelow
Both these guys put up a hell of a fight. A great brawl and one hell of an ending.

Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn v. Mike Awesome and Justin Credible
One of the better ECW tag team matches. Good match. Tanaka gets Awesome Bombed through a table.

BONUS:Yoshihiro Tajiri v. Psicosis
A great high flying, high impact match. A lot of counters and reversals. I cringe every time I see and hear one of Tajiri's kicks. He has some of the most effective kicks in wrestling today. A 5 Star match Bar none.

Love the crashes, but too many repeats & too dark at times.......2001-08-09

This offering showcases my fave moments- actually, in my opinion, the ONLY exciting moments- in motorsports: the crashes, collisions, crack-ups, & burn-ups. There’s nothing quite like watching a dragster “catchin’ air” and doing a backflip. Or a funny car’s canopy suddenly disintegrating in mid-run for no apparent reason. Or a top fueler disintegrating as it rolls over a dozen times. Or a speedboat capsizing, and the driver skimming across the water like a skipping stone! Now THAT’S what racing’s all about!

A nice advantage to this DVD is that there’s no narration or any dialogue, except for the crowd’s reaction. Although most of the footage is mainly drag-racing & nitro funny cars, there are a couple of monster-truck flips, a bit of motorcross bikin’, a demolition derby, and a few snippets of less-than-successful auto stunts.

Sadly, the picture quality’s not always the best. Since most of the footage was originally shot on video, the clarity leaves something to be desired at times. During the night drag racing scenes, in a lot of instances you can only tell the dragster’s there by the flames shootin’ out of the exhaust pipes. Another annoyance is the repeating of the same crashes. There was one funny-car disintegration that was shown five times throughout the presentation from three different angles. A couple of the speedboat capsizings were repeated as well.

A good party video to play to some comic music........2000-10-19

What's most interesting about this video is the antique footage. The older and very heavy stock cars provide some interesting off-roading on the dirt tracks, though there aren't quite so many pile-ups. I was rather pleased with the early F1 and stock car films, if video qualtiy isn't a big issue, and this DVD works up through the decades quite steadily. What was quite disappointing is the lack of modern footage, as the coverage stops in the late 70's, and the fact almost all the natural sound has been patched over with crummy snippets from a generic sound effects CD, as well as the obviously inexperienced narrator (who is easy to ignore, thankfully). There's also a let-down for auto fans, as the whole "side B" is reserved for repetitive, unnarrated clips of people slipping off their motorbikes. The bikini contest is hardly tame and has some good camera shots. Overall, a good party video, if you cut the audio and run music in the background. :)
