Bad Boys (Special Edition)

Amazon.com

A cheerfully over-the-top action film, Bad Boys is notable chiefly for the rapport between its two stars, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, as two Miami cops on the trail of a drug kingpin as they try to protect a witness (Tea Leoni). Smith is the swinging bachelor and Lawrence the family man, and both must juggle their personal lives as they baby-sit the one chance they have to recover a stolen drug shipment, save their jobs, and take down the drug dealer. While the film is almost always implausible and its story is something seen many times before, director Michael Bay (The Rock) keeps things moving stylishly and at a feverish pace, as Smith and Lawrence prove themselves a terrific comic pairing. Their odd couple banter flies at a faster clip than the bullets and explosions, and becomes the best reason to see this hyperbolic but entertaining action flick. --Robert Lane

The Original!.......2007-06-15

What can I say....Lights, camera and ACTION and LAUGHS! A great movie for a great price! The only reason I rated it one less star is that it comes automatically with american subtitles, so each time you want to watch it again (reload) you must go into the menu and turn the subtitles off, or actually it's already set to off, but you must click it.

But for the price I can live with that!

Bad Boys, Bad Boys Whatcha gonna do....,.......2007-06-13

I don't know who encouraged the creative teaming of comedian Martin Lawrence and rapper-turned-actor Will Smith in this big, loud, explosive action-comedy from 1995, but it's certainly an inspired team-up.

"Bad Boys" plays a lot like a collision between every buddy-cop movie we've ever seen, and since many of those ideas were exhausted in what seemed like eons ago, almost nothing here seems fresh. But what keeps the movie afloat is the dynamic interaction between stars Lawrence and Smith. This film, which in 1995 was the latest collaboration between producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the team that was responsible for heavy-hitting Hollywood action vehicles such as "Top Gun" and "Beverly Hills Cop," brought audiences another big blockbuster to rake in the cash.

"Bad Boys," directed by Michael Bay, starred Lawrence and Smith as Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowery, a pair of Miami narcotics cops whose careers had been made by a huge heroin bust from a few years earlier. As the film opens, a crack team of vicious thieves/drug dealers led by Fouchet (Tcheky Karyo) breaks into the Miami P.D. headquarters and steals their career-making bust. As a result of this Mess-up, Internal Affairs, specifically a bloodthirsty agent named Sinclair (Marg Helgenberger), comes down hard on the cops' Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano), who's afraid that this theft will become a public relations nightmare. To further complicate matters, Julie Mott (Tea Leoni), a witness to the murder of a close friend of Lowery's that was committed by Fouchet and his thugs, is forced to go into protective custody and results in having the two detectives to have to switch identities until the stolen heroin can be recovered. Burnett and Lowery then go to work to track down the bad guys, the dope, and protect Julie - and they only 72 hours to do it in. And then get ready for the explosions and the action that "Bad Boys" has to serve up to you.

Unlike many people, I like Michael Bay and enjoy all of his films. "Bad Boys" is a good combination of comedy and action. The enjoyment of this movie is mostly due to the great chemistry between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The two work so well together you get the feeling that they're real cops. Michael Bay handles his first film well with medium music video shots, and a lot explosion. For the dramatic scenes, he uses slow motion shots to help make the scene real. An interesting info is that pay gave $[...] of his director's fee to make sure he has an explosion at the end of the movie in the drug hanger. "Bad Boys" is an excellent action movie that's certainly entertaining and fun to watch again and again.

Standard fare formula cop drama.......2007-05-13

Nothing unique or original here. The family man cop and the loose canon ladies man cop bust the drug kingpin.A weak story with lots of over-the-top unrealistic gun fights.I expected some Profanity but when there is so much and it is used with such abandon, it becomes pointless. The rest of the dialog is composed of poorly done "ghetto english". 2 stars for the good photography work of Miami.

Enjoyable stuff!.......2006-08-11

Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay make an excellent team! When they work together, explosions rock the screen, profanity is spewed between characters, and corpses far outnumber the amount of lines spoken. This is one of Will Smith's early ventures in film, and to be honest, I think this is his breakthrough role as Mike Lowrey, a playboy cop with a taste for gritty gunfights. Martin Lawrence is hilarious as Mike's partner, Marcus Burnett, a family man whose gig constantly interferes with his family life. Tea Leoni is okay, but not great, and her role seems a bit weird, as though it was just randomly stuck in the plot. The bad guy is a typical villain, with few lines and a thick accent. The action scenes are, of course, Bruckheimer-worthy, and so you wont be disappointed. The cinematography adds to the film's good parts. Overall, a movie that is fun, brainless stuff.

pretty fun action .......2006-07-05

This movie is very fun and full of action. If you can get past the cursing, it's well worth it. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are almost too much fun as cop partners who go deep undercover to recover stolen police evidence (drugs). Tea Leoni is also hilarious in the film and serves as a great counterpoint to the cocky buddy cops.

Although scarcely seen in its original 3-D, and entirely out of sight for a decade and a half after its producer-star died, Hondo has maintained a high rep among John Wayne fans--and it wasn't even directed by Howard Hawks or John Ford. (Actually, Ford did shoot some second-unit stuff while visiting Wayne on location.) Half-breed Hondo, companioned only by an antisocial dog, tends to be more sympathetic toward the Apaches than toward the white society he occasionally scouts for. He falls into uneasy friendship with a New Mexico farmwoman (Geraldine Page) whose husband deserts her for long stretches, and whose son (Lee Aaker) is blood brother to the local Apache chieftain. A good, spare frontier tale--Louis L'Amour via James Edward (Angel and the Badman) Grant--in which danger and solace come in unexpected ways. John Farrow, who did direct, brings it in at a lean 84 minutes. Page was Oscar ^®-nominated for this first film role. --Richard T. Jameson

Description

Based on the Louis L'Amour story "The Gift of Cochise," this sparkling western has Wayne as a half-Indian Cavalry scout who, with his feral dog companion, finds a young woman and her son living on a isolated ranch in unfriendly Apache country. A poetic and exciting script, outstanding performances, and breathtaking scenery make this an indisputable classic. Page's debut.

Hondo.......2007-07-13

I have been looking for this DVD for some time and was delighted to find it. The movie follows the book fairly well and is a delight to watch.

Hondo.......2007-06-26

The best John Wayne western not directed by John Ford or Howard Hawks, "Hondo" shows the Duke at the peak of his powers. Helmed by John Farrow (Mia's dad), the film is stunningly photographed, with a tight, trim story brought to life by a luminous Page (in her film debut), the ever-reliable Ward Bond as Hondo's friend Buffalo Baker, and Michael Pate as Vittorio, the Apache chief. Also look for James Arness in a pivotal role- he'd go on to make his career in Westerns on TV's long-running "Gunsmoke".

The Duke.......2007-05-06

I love John Wayne, so anything thing he does is fine with me. Typical Wayne western. Wonderful, colorful, authentic Wayne fare. Amazon had the best price.

A superb western.......2007-04-12

Hondo is a mighty impressive film. It is that rare western that greatly succeeds on on a technical level, as well as an emotional level.
John Wayne and co-star Geraldine Page have amazing chemistry, and child actor Lee Aaker is wonderful and believable as the little boy. (unlike the many phony child actors that were common in the 50s)
The story closely follows the Louis L'Amour novel it was based on, and that is a big plus. It's a very mature and complex tale that is handled with confidence and grace by a great cast, crew and director.
This wonderful film is yet more proof that John Wayne wasn't just an iconic "movie star," but this man was a superb actor in all regards.
Highly recommended.

Another good one from the " Classic Western Star" a must have for your collection.

No one goes to a movie directed by Michael Bay for delicacy and grace; you go because Michael Bay (Armageddon, The Rock) knows how to make your bones rattle during a high-speed chase when a car flips over, spins through the air, and smacks another car with a visceral crunch. Bad Boys II fulfills this expectation and then some. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may be mere puppets amid all this burning rubber and shrieking metal, but they actually provide a human core to the endless cascade of car wrecks and gunfights. Their easy rapport makes their personal problems--a running joke is Lawrence's attempts at anger management--as engaging as the sheer visual hullabaloo of bullets and explosions. The plot is recycled nonsense about drug lords and dead bodies being used to smuggle drugs, but orchestration of violence is symphonic. If that's your thing, then this is for you. --Bret Fetzer

Great movie! The second in the Bad Boys movies. Will Smith adds the comic relief parts into the movie while Martin Lawrence is the serious guy. Lots of action and excitement.

Yeah, its the sequel. Wanna make something of it?,.......2007-06-13

This movie was by far the best action of that summer it came out. Not quite as good as the first, however, in this second `Bad Boys" the action scenes are just ridiculously sweet. Eight years after the success of the first film, the creative talents responsible have reunited and produced a summer action film that delivers. `Bad Boys 2' not only improves on the action content but it sets new standards for buddy cop movies to aspire.

The film continues the adventures of Miami Narcotics cops Mike Lowrey (Will Smith), and Marcus Bennett (Martin Lawrence), as they battle the bad guys and each other to stop a dangerous drug trafficker named Tapia (Jordia Molla') from flooding the streets with his deadly version of Ecstasy and from smuggling millions of dollars out of the country.

While the plot may seem like any other taken from other films in the genre, `Bad Boys 2' benefits from the great chemistry between Smith and Lawrence and the steady flow of action from director Michael bay who keeps the action flowing but never lets it upstage the characters in the film. The action is nonstop and gripping and there are numerous chases in the film that will not only delight but also raises the bar for future films to follow. One such chase had Mike and Marcus in a high-speed pursuit of the bad guys in a stolen car hauler. The scene was awash in action, energy and humor as the two detectives traded barbs with each other and bullets with the bad guys while dodging a vast array of vehicles that had been dropped from the hauler in an effort to stop the pursuit. The stunt work was amazing and it was a scene of masterful creation that kept the adrenaline flowing and the effects were used to enhance the scene without taking center stage away from the human element. This is but one of three main chase scenes in the film and each one was spectacular as it offered something new to what has often become a tired cliché in action films.

The film also had some great moments of humor and a scene in a video store where a frustrated Marcus bares his soul to Mike unaware that there conversation is not private is hysterical as is the scene where the two harass a young man who has come to take Marcus's daughter on a first date.While the action is hot and constant, it should be noted that it is very violent and there are some scenes that upped the ante on graphic violence it is never gratuitous and often appropriate for the situation that it was presented in.It is a good ride the entire movie and the running time of over 2 hours was fine with me. I was waiting for a good action movie from Bay between that time since his latest movies and been somewhat dismal. After tremendous movies like "The Rock" and "Bad Boys, "I waiting for another one, and this was it. Only thing I missed in Bad Boys 2 was the movie theme from the first one by musician Marc Mancina, however, Trevor Rabin did a good job with the music for the action sequences. All in all, this movie kicked end.

Prior to starring in the hard-edged 1983 drama Bad Boys, Sean Penn had proven his early promise in the TV movie The Killing of Randy Webster, played a memorable supporting role in Taps (with fellow newcomer Tom Cruise), and created the definitive California surfer dude as the perpetually stoned Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. But it was Bad Boys that cemented Penn's reputation as a rare talent--an actor whose skill transcended his youth, revealing a depth and maturity that the majority of his acting peers could only aspire to. That gravity and emotional dimension is evident throughout Penn's performance here as Mick O'Brien, a chronic offender whose path to a Chicago juvenile corrections facility seems utterly preordained. The institution is hardly conducive to reformation--it's a jail for problem kids, and a cauldron for all the societal ills that sent kids there in the first place. Mick's there because he was involved in a shootout during a botched robbery of drugs from rival street gangster Paco Moreno (Esai Morales), whose little brother was killed when Mick accidentally ran him over with his getaway car.

Overcrowding results in Mick and Paco's being sent to the same facility (one of the film's few stretches of credibility), and this leads to a rather predictable showdown that will take the juvie prison's violence to its inevitable extreme. It's a shame this conclusion ultimately doesn't live up to the film's superior first hour, but Bad Boys remains a remarkably authentic, even touching portrait of troubled youth whose torment is conveyed through thoughtful and richly emotional development of characters. Director Rick Rosenthal (who had previously helmed Halloween II) maintains a vivid sense of setting within the correctional facility's cold walls, and through the performances of Penn and a superb supporting cast (including Ally Sheedy in her film debut as Mick's girlfriend), Bad Boys emerges as one of the best films of its kind, forcing the viewer to ask difficult questions about at-risk youth and the proper way to improve or at least preserve their endangered lives. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews:

HOROWITZ ALL THE WAY!!!.......2007-07-18

My favorite character (played by Eric Gurry) in this emotion-packed, action-packed prison drama.
Loved it when Horowitz starts a food fight/riot in the mess hall and practically goes bonkers with the
joy of it. A real blast.

There is a fight scene in this flick that entails a pillow case filled with canned sodas that is worth the price of admission alone.

It's hard to believe that the same guy who directed the lame Halloween II directed this hard-hitting punks-in -trouble flick--but he did.

Definitely worth seeing. Ally Sheedy, Sean Penn do good work. Reni Santoni is also excellent here.

A good movie.......2007-07-05

I saw this when it first came out in the theaters and have finally got this on DVD. If you are in late 30's or early 40's, it will show that people have not changed much.

Bad Boy, Bad Boy Whatcha Gonna Do?.......2007-06-05

The first hour or so of this movie Kayos Will Smith's and Marty-Mart's later Bad Boy efforts. Unfortunately it does slow down once the charactor Horowitz is removed.
Unintentional humor is found throughout: Horowitz chowline scene whacking Viking with the tray, Willie-Man doing the stealth shotgun run in the beginning, Horowitz going to solitaire yelling "you can't do this to me" and another prisoner coming back with "Oh yes he can!"
Sean Penn gave us a preview of his winning portrayal of an Irish hood to come in "STATE OF GRACE". An excellent job of understated emotion (which anyone knows is how you survive while incarcerated) until the very end when the enormity of the situation appeared to finally wash over Mick.
Clancy Brown as Viking made a name for himself with me and my crew forever - No matter what else he's appeared in it's always "yo, that's Viking -- I wonder what happened to Tweetie?" Isn't that the essence of an outstanding acting job?
A winner of the 80's that because of the lack of flying blood, explosions and automatic weapons doesn't get as much credit in this decade.

It was a good movie!.......2007-04-02

First of all, I wasn't a huge Sean Penn fan at the time. However, with that being said, this movie made me a huge fan after I saw it. Frankly, with the exception of "Mystic River" and "I am Sam" this has got to be my favorite right among those. Don't let me forget, Esai Morales also does a great job as well. I think this movie was ahead of it's time, and it opened the door for a lot of prison dramas of this genre. With that being said, I do think that there's a lot more to prison than what was shown. I don't think they showed all of the brutality in it's fullness that goes along with prison life. I think they showed just enough for you to get the point, but it wasn't as explicit or raunchy as a lot of other films. I wouldn't call this a classic, but it did show that Sean Penn has what it takes to be taken seriously after playing "Jeff Spicoli" in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" which was more teen comedy fun, and way less edgy or gritty than this.

Bad Boys.......2007-03-15

If you like prison, jail, or revenge movies then this is a good movie to watch. Sean Penn and Esai Morales are up-and-coming actors in this sad, but realistic movie about troubled teens growing up in the tough streets of New York who get caught up in a chain of events and eventually end up in the same youth corrections facility and are out for revenge on each other. I thought it was a good movie.

This has been a favorite of mine for many years. I wish they would released "Crime School" on DVD! What is the problem?? The whole cast is great in this tale of two childhood friends who take two very different paths as the result of a dumb idea and one of the boys getting caught by the police. They just don't make them like this anymore! No wonder today's youths of the world have no character! I know, I don't want to see who's running this world in 50 years! The DVD boost a nice transfer and some cool extras. This is also available in a Gansters box set(well worth it!)If you haven't seen this film,your missing the best of the best! Bring "Crime School" to DVD please!

This is a superb movie. James Cagney was awesome. Dead end kids are all dead now, I think. Very good old time movie. It actually had a moral to it's story. Today's filmakers and actors should take note.

Great Nostalgia!.......2007-04-16

I purchased this movie for my husband, who collects antique radios. We merely wanted to see the bar-radio. We enjoy all things Art Deco and vintage, particularly 20-40's. We realized that we were really enjoying the movie! It's a bit sappy, but weren't all movies from the era?

A very New York movie .......2007-04-08

(To Kristopher Haines) you asked "What did audiences see in these kids?" Many kids in the northern cities saw themselves, or knew of wise guy tough kids just like the Dead End Kids. They also knew or knew of a 'Father Connelly' who would try and set neighbourhood tough kids on the right path in life.

If you were a New Yorker you might have been similar to one of the kids depicted in this film yourself. In 1938 many actors & actresses in motion pictures were from New York, thus Hollywood made movies with the New York viewing audiences in mind. That's why the movie going public liked their antics.

After the war when the East End Kids evolved into the The Bowery Boys their fan base grew even larger. Today they have a substantial following amongst old movie fans, and yes many of these fans are from the Tri-State area (NY/CONN/NJ), Philly, Boston, Providence, Chicago etc, since those fans related to the Boys growing up, or watching their re-runs on TV.

"Whaddaya Hear, Whaddaya Say?".......2007-03-14

Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) was always a troublesome kid, but what do you expect from a guy who grew up in the slums? The only difference between him and the man who became the preacher (Pat O'Brien) is that Rocky got caught stealing and the preacher didn't. So Rocky went to juvenile detention and graduated to the slammer thanks to his ties to bigshot gangsters. He agreed to take the fall for them at the advice of his lawyer (Humphrey Bogart) at the promise that he'd jump right back in with them when he got out. What a sucker he was.

When Rocky gets out, he finds that his old friends have turned on him and used up his money. He doesn't take lightly to that and uses his intelligence to outsmart them time after time. In the meantime, upon returning home, Rocky meets up with some childhood friends including the preacher and a girl he used to pick on (Ann Sheridan). He also meets the new town hoodlums (The Dead End Kids) and becomes their idol. However, Rocky's life was never destined for a happy ending.

This film is incredibly powerful because it comments on so many modern issues. Is the criminal a victim of his own free-will or of his environment? And in being a criminal, does that make him all bad? Also, the relationships between the characters are great because they're so well established. Cagney is perfect in the role, a street-wise, easy-going guy you can't help but love despite his imperfections. Also notable are the Dead End Kids, especially Leo Gorcey whose strong personality and looks are very similar to Cagney's.

This is an excellent film that transcends the gangster genre.

Bad Boys
Slick to a fault, this glossy action flick takes place in sunny Florida, where Martin Lawrence and Will Smith play two cops--one married with kids, the other a swinging bachelor. The two are forced to trade places to foil criminal mastermind Fouchet (Tchéky Karyo) who has stolen $100 million worth of heroin from a police lockup. Violent, illogical, and filled with wall-to-wall profanity, Bad Boys was the last film produced by the hit-making team of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer before Simpson's untimely death, and marked the directorial debut of Michael Bay who followed up with The Rock. Bad Boys will be of interest to action buffs and fans of Téa Leoni, who makes one of her early screen appearances in the central supporting role. --Jeff Shannon

Bad Boys II
No one goes to a movie directed by Michael Bay for delicacy and grace; you go because Michael Bay (Armageddon, The Rock) knows how to make your bones rattle during a high-speed chase when a car flips over, spins through the air, and smacks another car with a visceral crunch. Bad Boys II fulfills this expectation and then some. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence may be mere puppets amid all this burning rubber and shrieking metal, but they actually provide a human core to the endless cascade of car wrecks and gunfights. Their easy rapport makes their personal problems--a running joke is Lawrence's attempts at anger management--as engaging as the sheer visual hullabaloo of bullets and explosions. The plot is recycled nonsense about drug lords and dead bodies being used to smuggle drugs, but orchestration of violence is symphonic. If that's your thing, then this is for you. --Bret Fetzer

Bad Boys .......2007-05-29

the stupid movies are in wide screen and it says nothing about that in the discription or on the boxes for that matter. bad boys 1 is not that bad tha ratio only dropes an inch on each end but 2 is horndus with about a 2.5" black stripe top and bottem

Bay! A Genius Emerges.......2006-09-28

While I thought this movie was silly ... and the script was particulary ridiculous ... also the performances were competent but not transcendant ... and the whole identity confusion thing was unnecessary, but I guess when the script and story are so thin you have to find something to fill the 90 minutes. So yes, this movie is severely flawed and not worth anyone's time to see it, but (and it's a big but) you can see the genius of Michael Bay working his way through the film. Little things: the placement of a trash can, the bangles on Tea Leoni's wrist, the use of slow motion, when it doesn't seem called for. The rest of it is really intangible and I don't know whether he did this before or after that terrific Lionel Richie video he did, but there's a certain uncomprehensible quality that just screams ... Bay = Genius. So again, I would see this only if you consider yourself a Bayophile. Even then, you'll not like it, but you'll appreciate what Bay tried to do, even though everyone else let him down.

Put Your Money on the Bad Boys!.......2005-11-06

The bad boy duo that you once witnessed took it there, and were back to take it there again. These thrillers are action packed from beginning to end. Bad Boys and Bad Boys II are must haves in every DVD collection.

In the premiering Bad Boys movie, detective Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) of the Miami Police Department partner up to take on a mission to retrieve 100 million dollars worth of missing cocaine and save the Narcotics Department from being shut down. When their jobs are on the line, a couple of murderers and a witness will only make them focus on putting their "bad boy" skills to work.

In the sequel, Bad Boys II, there is more action and a bigger crime to be investigated. Between the emotional and short fused personality of Marcus and the calm but aggressive behavior of Mike, negative issues in their partnership are on the rise. Issues hit a climax when Marcus is revealed a shocking secret about his sister Sydney, who works for the DEA, and Mike's affair. But not a bullet, some ecstasy pills, or a few crashed cars will stop these two detectives from fulfilling their prestigious bad boy reputation.

If you recall, when Bad Boys was released in 1995, Sony Productions made a total gross profit of $68,647,413. Bad Boys II opened in 2003 and made a total gross profit of $138,608,444. Director Michael Bay shot and hit the target of most American movie consumers. Both movies did very successful.

Some final words for all action seekers. If you have it, keep it. If you want it, go get it. If you've never seen it, rent it. Because once you watch it, you will not regret the purchase.

Actioned Packed Combo.......2005-10-14

Non-Stop action and comedy. Great combo buy, cheaper than seperate tittles put together. "Bad Boy for Life"

Great collection.......2005-07-04

These two movies are very good movies that should be in everyone's collection. There's a wesome action, great comedy, and 2 just awesome movies. They both involve Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as cops who have to deal with crime. They work so well together and that makes the movie even more likeable. They're just a great duo. Both movies delivered great laughs and explosive and memorable action scenes.
But, I have to say that I loved the 2nd one and liked it a lot better than the original. The second one had great humor and some of the most awesome action scenes and chases ever! I mean, you have no idea what cool is if you didn't see Bad Boys 2.
There are big guns, and sweet cars( Ferrari Marrinello, Caddilac, Hummer H2) in beautiful locations. Believe me, the action, chases and humor are great.
The only downsider to me and the only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the language and some unnecessary scenes. But I mean the language is pervasive with a lot of F words being used. But besides that, it's great. The opening scene of Bad Boys II is awesome!

Bad Boys of Comedy DVD.......2007-07-09

This DVD was really and truly hilarious. I would recommend it to everyone. Awesome A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bad Boys, Good Comedy.......2006-10-05

I really thought that Diddy's attempt at a stand up comedy show would fall to its knees but I thought wrong. One thing that Sean Combs does well is picking out good talent. Some of the talent he picks doesn't make it for example the 1000 or so bands he's tried to complete but he and his team were pretty much dead on. Best of all these guys are comics on the come up and they're hungry to make the crowd laugh though some of them I've seen on Comic View. Even better the comics seen in other shows like Comic View use different material and if by chance they use something you've heard before they spice it up a little bit. Diddy doesn't discriminate though there isn't that many female comics, he uses comedians with all types of backgrounds but it doesn't matter as long as they're funny. I love that Doug E. Fresh is the host because he does it properly. One thing I hate is that every comic is wearing Sean John but the comics crack some jokes about that mostly because they don't care if they wear it because it's free. I gave Bad Boys Of Comedy 4 stars because there are a couple comics that weren't cutting it but not enough people to keep you from enjoying the show. Overall this is a hilarious series it's hard to give examples of the jokes cause the ones I remember most cant be said.

P. Diddy does it again!!!!.......2006-03-24

Funny!!! Funny!!! Funny!!! that's what I can say... this is a great look at future comics in the international scene. Many of the comics viturally unkowns, but deliver a great time... I watched it with my friends and they loved it...

I hope HBO continues this series.... much like the early DefComedy Jam, this one delievers... These are your up can coming cemedic greats....Keep it up Diddy!!!

Nice up and comers.......2006-01-26

I saw this series on HBO and it was hot. First just to say, everyone won't laugh at all the comedians...that's just the way the business is. My favorite was Will E. Robo who you will laugh at nonstop, as long as you don't mind risque content. One guy does an awesome Ruben impression, and the Denzel guy was good too. Look closely and you can see Babs and the other singer from Da Band in the audience. Hot

Diddy suprised me.......2005-12-06

First off, let me say that Diddy's last ventures have not been good. I saw this DVD in the store and walked by it a few times but then I decided on getting it and let me tell you that i was shocked. It was actually funny and Diddy doesn't even host it (Doug E. Fresh is the host). The show is taped in Brooklyn, N.Y, and the audience is just as much fun as the actual comics. Now some of the comedians weren't all that funny but it wasn't like there was ever a silent momment. There was even a comic who bought a slice of cheesecake from Junior's in a spoof to make fun of a episode from Making the Band where Diddy made the contestants walk all the way to junior's for a slice of cheesecake. There were comics on there that I had never seen or heard of before but they were so funny! I would definitely recommend this especially with Christmas around the corner. I gave it 4 stars because there were no female comics other than that, I enjoyed it.

When the 2-inch-tall Tom Thumb arrives at a childless couple's door, it seems like the perfect family has been created. But a chance meeting with a pair of devious robbers soon has Tom acting as an unwitting accomplice in a robbery, thereby threatening his family's happiness. Only Tom (Russ Tamblyn of West Side Story) and his friend Woody (Alan Young) can prove the innocence of Tom's parents and bring the robbers to justice. This 1958 presentation of the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale won an Oscar ^® for its innovative special effects. Timeless scenes include the famous dancing shoes and the painted boy who peels himself off of a pad of paper to dance around the room. Peggy Lee and Fred Spielman provide a wealth of catchy songs that have Tamblyn, Young, and Peter Sellers singing, dancing, and performing impressive gymnastic feats. This fanciful tale will appeal to the entire family. --Tami Horiuchi

Tom Thumb.......2006-06-27

This is a really nice family movie. Highly recommend for young children. My family and myself fully enjoyed it.

remembering.......2006-03-03

This is a cute movie to rmemember you saw and liked when the baby bommers were kids. Alot of the actors from the 50's and 60's are in this. A cute fairy tale movie.

Enchanting movie!!! Kids love it,and adults too!!!.......2006-02-27

I saw this movie as a 2 year old, and I never really understood it, until now the digitally remastered edition features subtitles as well as clear finished product of the old classic fairytale.

Jonathan and Anna are simple honest people living in the forest, one day a fairy grants them a child. Tom Thumb as he is called, is a naughty but good boy who likes to play with his toys as soon as the grown ups are away. The toys come alive in a way never seen before! This is without the implementation of computer generated images, just great manipulation and excellent directing. I give this movie 5 stars!!!

Fun Family Film.......2005-10-26

Though I wouldn't rank this as a classic family film I would allow that "tom thumb" is impervious to criticism. Almost 50 years old the entertainment value here is timeless. In this day of CGI director George Pal's visual flair especially his utilization of Puppetoons still impress. Russ Tamblyn as Tom is an infectiously energetic marvel. Good light comic villainous turns contributed here by the legendary British comics Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers. If you were to pop this one into the DVD player I think you'll be able to keep the kids occupied for 90 minutes.

Good but, I saw all skits .......2007-03-23

in original episodes. even Chris Rock who is not often funny was funny in these skits. Would only watch once. No subtitles.

Bad Boys interactive.......2006-11-10

I'd purchased the VHS version a few years ago, and still decided to get the DVD version because this is a keeper! VHS doesn't keep well in 95% humidity all year round so the DVD was a welcome.

There's a little bit more on the DVD not seen on the VHS - wonderful surprises. I believe there are many reviews of this title from its VHS days, so I'll refrain from commenting along those lines.

Still, great to see the Bad Boy again and again and again... this time around - in a more efficient interactive way!

The're Bad To The Bone.......2005-04-13

As one revwer already pointed out, this is the first dvd to focus on more than one cast member from "Saturday Night Live". Here, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock and Chris Farley get some of their best roles represented. (Farley, Sandler and Rock also have their own individual best of's as well).

Since this dvd does not represnt the single best moments of one cast member, my review will be structured like my one for the "Halloween" dvd. Here it goes:

Total Bastard Airlines - Spade and host Helen Hunt play ride flight attendants who swiftly shun off their cast members with the phrase "ba - bye". It's a one joke premise, but it's still very funny and a great way to get the ball rolling. 10/10

Il Cantore- even as an Italian, I found this sketch to be uproarious. Spade, Sandler, Farley, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey play sex - crazed waiters at an Italian restaurant who get it on with Kirstie Alley, much to her delight but to the dismay of husband Kevin Nealon. This sketch proves that the old "SNL" theory "stereotypes are funny" works, and this is no exception. 10/10

The Gap Girls - out of these recurring characters' seven appearances, this one is probably my favorite. While Christy (Spade), Lucy (Sandler) and Cindy (Chris Farley) are having lunch at Tater Junction, their invaded by Tammy (Schneider) and Misty (Sarah Gilbert), who poke fun at the girls. This sketch was so funny the whole way through, and even the court tv jokes still seem funny today (and so do the Michael Jsckson jokes, which is agiven). 10/10

Def ER Jam - in this 1996 parody of Russell Simmons' "Def Comedy Jam", Rock plays a foul mouthed nurse who shouts out politically incorrect words at will. How sweet. 10/10

The Richmeister - my favorite "Saturday Night Live" character may well be Schneider's lovable office pest Richard Laymer. Here, he makes his first appearance, annoying coworkers Tom (Mike Myers), Randy (Kevin Nealon), Sandy (Julia Sweeney), Steve (Phil Hartman) and Sting (played by, well, Sting). My favorite sketch. 10/10

Schmit's Gay - a classic ad spoof with Sandler and Farley as housesitters who with one sip turn an old rundown home into a homosexual paradise. The shots of tight bulges andall male conga lines may be a little much, but it's still a 10/10 sketch.

Dick Clark's Receptionist - Spade's breakthrough role was as Dick Clark's snooty receptionist, who made every guest wait and shut them up with his condescending "and you are..."? Here, he shoots ut catty one liners to Roseanne, who proves to be an excellent foil. It got really funny when Phil Hartman came in as Jesus. 10/10

The Chris Farley Show - Chris stumbles through an interview with Jeff Daniels. It was this childilike attitude that made Farley so lovable, and why we miss him so much. 10/10

Canteen Boy - Sandler's recurring character, the 27 year old boy scout, is featured in the controversial scoutmaster sketch with Alec Baldwin. In it, Baldwin spills water on Sandler's sleeping bag, forcing him to share one with him. Baldwin tries to cajole Sandler into having sex with him. Bsldwin goes too far, and Sandler manages to escape by having Baldwin attacked by snakes. This sketch is so wrong on so many levels (the scen where Baldwin sodomizes Sandler may be a little much fro some people) < yet it's so funny. 10/10

Big Toe Song - a tounge in cheek Boys II Men knock - off, Rock and Tim Meadows play lead singers of G - Spot, who perform their hit "Big Toe Song". The video for this song is raunchy as hell and it's hilarious. 10/10

Chris Rock On Update Highlights - bits and pieces of Rock's "Weekend Update" commentaries, all of which are raw and witty. 10/10

Spade In America - from Spade's last episode, he presents a clipshow of his "Hollywood Minute" bits. Hysterical, especially the MC Hamer joke, though I ish they had the Rick Ocasek joke (Hey Rick why the long face?) 10/10

Opera Man Highlights - more clips, this time Sandler as his popular "Update" characterwho sings about the news story. This is possibly the dvd's best sketch, other than the Richmeister. 10/10

Hanukkah Song - Sandler's three part holiday classic made its debut on Decmeber 10th, 1994 on "Weekend Update". This edition is my favorite, especially the line about Ebineezer Scrooge. 10/10

Nikey Turkey Commercial - a parody of those Nike pump sneaker with Rockas a rapping spokesman. Very good. 10/10

The Denise Show - Sandler plays Brian, a man obsessed with his ex - girlfriend and hists a tv show about itt. This sketch even in a rather disturbing sort of way. 10/10

Orgasm Guy - finally, Schneider appears again. Here he plays a man named Ron, a guy who's turned on by everything, from Jonathan Demme films to Setchuan foods. 10/10

Def Jam Magic Show - another Def Jam spoof, with foul mouth from Rock. The dialogue between Tim Meadows and Ellen Cleghorne is especially intersting. 10/10

Zagat's - this at one pint was my favorite "SNL" sketch. Sandler and Farley play the Gelfands, an old Jewish couple. Farley annoyingly reads restaurant choices for their 35th anniversary in the Zagat's guide, much to Sandler's annoyance. David Duchovny was really funny as Farley's sister. 10/10

The Dark Side With Nat X -Rock's most popular recurring character, militant Nat X, appears in a 1996 hosting stint, hassling Jesse Jackson (Darrell Hammond), Tori Spelling (Cheri Oteri) and Mike Tyson (Tracy Morgan). Great way to end it all. 10/10

The bonus sketches are really funny, especially "Sapde In America" with Jennifer Anniston.

There are some sketches that I wish were one here. For example, I wish they included the sketch where Schneider is the owner of the African artifacts shop who sells artifacts used to stash marijuana. Also, a Matt Foley sketch with Farley would have been nice. Also, the majority of these sketches are featured on other dvds, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it.

Overall, this is such a great dvd. Now here's the next dvd collection of "SNL" dvds I would like to see:

"Saturday Night Live: The Women". It would have:

"The Best Of Cheri Oteri" (this aired on tv in Spetember yet hasn't been released yet)
"The Best Of Jan Hooks"
"The Best Of Ana Gasteyer"
"The Best Of Gilda Radner"
"The Best Of Jane Curtain"
"The Best Of Victoria Jackson"
"The Best Of Laraine Newman"
"The Best Of Molly Shannon" (which I already have)

and

"Saturday Night Live: The Hosts":

"The Best Of Tom Hanks" (this aired on tv as well but hasn't seen the light of day on dvd)
"The Best Of John Goodman"
"The Best Of Alec Baldwin"
"The Best Of Christopher Walken" (which I have)
"The Best Of Steve Martin" (which I also have)
"The Best Of Buck Henry" (this should really please the old fans of the show)

"Saturday Night Live: The First Five Years":

"The Best Of Dan Akroyd"
"The Best Of John Belushi"
"The Best Of Garret Morris"
"The Best Of Chevy Chase"
"The Best Of Bill Murray"
"The Best Of Laraine Newman"
"The Best Of Gilda Radner"
"The Best Of Jane Curtain"

And here are just a few random best - of's:

"The Best Of Kevin Nealon"
"The Best Of Jon Lovitz" (this again aired on tv but is not on dvd)
"The Best Of Phil Hartman, Volume 2"
"The Best Of Will Ferrell, Volume 3" (volume 2 really blew)
"The Best Of David Spade" (which is coming out this fall)

Bottom line: pick up "Bad Boys".

Beware!.......2005-03-03

This is all funny stuff from some of the old-time SNL crew, but a word of caution; I bought this DVD specifically because I wanted a copy of the skit where Woody Harrelson incites other cast members to take their shirts off at the beach. This is one of the funniest SNL skits EVER, and is on the VHS version, but for some reason it didn't make it onto the DVD. I won't be sending my DVD back, but I was very disappointed at the inexplicable cutting of this skit from the DVD version.

Hilarious.......2004-04-03

When one sees the opening sketch, "Total Bastard Airlines", one is suddenly reminded of the wit and humor that "SNL" skits once possessed...This is the first "Best Of" dvd to be devoted to more than one cast member. Here, 5 cast members get their due: Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock and Chris Farley. And it stays true to the title, showing each cast member at their raunchiest.

Sandler seems to get the most coverage, appearing in about half the sketches. His are probably my favorite. I enjoyed every minute of his sketches, from "Operaman" to "Canteen Boy" to "The Hanukkah Song", I laughed my pants off. I only wish they'd included "Cajun Man" and "The Present Song".

Spade gets some coverage as well. In addition to a well - thawed "Hollywood Minute Montage", he captures the audience with his witty sarcasm in "Total Bastard Airlines" and the one in which he plays Dick Clark's snotty receptionist who is able to absorb catchy comebacks from Roseanne Barr.

Scheider does not appear that often, but when he does, you can't help but laugh. He seems to be at his best when he is doing his famed Richmeister (makin' copies) sketch with Sting. But he's even funnier in "The Gap Girls" and "Orgasm Guy".

Unfortunately, Rock and Farley do not get as much coverage, but when they appear, they steal the show. Rock's "Nat X" and editorials are some of the freshest and rawest humor "Saturday Night Live"'s writers ever came up with. Farley outshines the rest with his interview wuith Jeff Daniles and his chubby Gap Girl.

It's especially funny when more than one cast member works together in the same sketch. Schneider and Sandler have a ball playing sex - crazed Italian waiters pining for Kirstie Alley at "Il Cantore" alongside a showstoppingly funny Dana Carvey. And Sandler and Farley are just to funny for this world in the uproarious "Zagat's".

I recommend this dvd to just about every "SNL" fan in the world. It features some extremely funny stuff, some of which is all too underrated. I hope to see a dvd in the future devoted to women of "Saturday Night live", like Jan Hooks, Molly Shannon, and Tina Fey.
