Muppets from Space

Amazon.com

The film that answers the immortal question: what species is Gonzo? Kermit the Frog's curly-nosed friend feels alone in the world. When his breakfast cereal starts spelling out questions and he hears voices, Gonzo is convinced he must be from outer space, and his alien brothers are coming to earth. Of course, there are evil scientists (led by Jeffrey Tambor) who kidnap Gonzo to learn his secrets (like "What do you do with a nose like that?"). The usual brand of merriment from the gang is in good order, especially in the opening scene when the Muppets start the morning under one roof. It's not as memorable as earlier films, but nevertheless the joy and sly humor will warm most souls age 5 and up. Human cameos include Ray Liotta, Rob Schneider, Josh Charles, Andie MacDowell, David Arquette, and F. Murray Abraham (as Noah, no less). --Doug Thomas

This is no "Muppet Movie".......2007-08-18

Jim Henson is sorely missed.

A "Muppets in Space" segment within a half-hour Muppet Show repeat has more laughs. I actually could not believe the violence (including a karate chop to the groin) in a Muppet entertainment. In typical modern movie fashion, there were even men with automatic weapons running around.

This is a Hollywood bastardization of family feel-good quality entertainment that Jim Henson always strived for. Henson would definitely not have approved.

A talented supporting cast is wasted, as well.

We end up not really caring about anyone in this very thinly-plotted disaster. I saw this today on HBO, and frankly stopped paying attention after 45 minutes.

A huge disappointment to someone who could not miss a weekly Muppet Show episode when he was growing up. This movie is simply not that funny.

a lot of fun but WHY FULLSCREEN???.......2007-01-04

The story is cute and has some pretty good SFX too. But what idiot is still chopping widescreen movies down to fullscreen??!

you gotta love the Muppets!.......2006-12-28

You just have to love the genius of Jim Henson. This movie brought back fond memories of my childhood. It's true the movie star cameos can be cheesey but they are funny and just add to the movies charm. If you are a Muppet fan you have to have this movie to complete your collection.

Good wholesome fun.......2006-12-16

Good for all ages. You can't go wrong with the Muppets.

Gonzo Finally Finds Where He Comes From.......2006-07-10

Muppets From Space is a fun movie for kids and adults alike, although it does lean more towards the kiddies. The makers of this new Muppet film put in a lot of the nostalgia of the amazing Muppet movies of the seventies and early eighties. So Muppets From Space has that "seventies" feel and vibe throughout, which adult fans like me of The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan will appreciate. While lacking orginal songs, the soundtrack is also all seventies and early eighties like "She's a Brick House" and "Celebrate."

The story is kind of Gonzo meets X-Files. Gonzo is receiving strange messages from his breakfast cereal. His housemates Rizzo the Rat and Pepe the King Prawn are less than sympathetic. Even Kermit seems to think his friend has gone off the deep end. Meanwhile, Miss Piggy is trying hard to land a news anchor job at a local TV station. Will the alien craze be her ticket to the big time? One person that does believe Gonzo is the diabolical head of a secret government agency in charge of seeking out life in outer space. When Gonzo goes to them for help, he finds himself in big trouble.

Muppets From Space does not equal the great films of the 80's. It doesn't have that magic, although it has its moments. Nevertheless, an enjoyable film worthy of Jim Henson's beloved creations.

Two really good episodes.......2007-09-14

I'm a big fan who was "traumatised" as a kid by Banner's Hulk-outs. For this reason, I can watch each show with a certain fascination.

For non-fans, the only two good episodes are Married and Mystery Man. The remaining shows are only average.

It has to be said though that Bill Bixby is a wonderful actor and really carried the show in places.

Do pick this collection up if you're a fan!!

no first season and only tollerable, HOWEVER a couple of notable episodes!.......2007-08-05

While the first season was good and had the charm of the main plot and interesting character plots, this second season is more of a pollitical statement as most every(or every other at least) episode is some heavy-hearted emotional issue related too much to life, as drinking or abuse or "anger" management. these issues need to be addressed in their own genre, not science fiction dramas or any kind of TV drama not directly related. Not only is the emotional "baggage" inapproriate, it is blatently odvious and takes presience over any thing else. Why not be subtle, you don't need a support group seminar to get some message across to people. This is far far worse in today's TV and movies then the 1970's or even 80's and by these standards, The Incredible Hulk's statements are mild in comparison and right on the money AT LEAST!(thus I give 3, not 1 star). Unlike the twisted ethos of today(as in Doctor Who Davy Tennet trashola or even worse, Chrissy Escalator Head's dopy ethics!), these 70's Hulk episodes are correct(as in unbiased and moderate, not one sided) yet I beleive another avenue is needed to tell these heavy tales and it is so very unfortunate that an enjoyable avenue as sci fi has to be the constant target for PC statements as these, and thus distracting from sci fi(as in projected future or figurative SCIENIFIC) qualities of a film/series or so on.. Harlen Elsian would likely concur. Most Hulk writers are more actors than writers and also appeared in the show. Carol Baxter to name one, in "Promethius"-season three or four I believe. Of the more notable and rememberable epsiodes of season 2 is "The Mystery Man", a two parter about a plane crash after Banner suffers amniesia from "hitchhiking"("don't try that at home, kids!"). Banner and McGee make nice for the journey back to civilistion and Banner must recover amneisia while playing "scar victim" under a white mask to McGEE. "Stop The Presses" is another business-like(and emotional baggage free) episode played out as "An interveiw with the Hulk." type senerio. Only emotion is banner's conflict with his self and the pride that led to his transformation in the Pilot movie. Very tear moving! Great stuff!(non PC). The most notable of all(and ironically my favorite too despite my contempt for the season as a whole axiom) "Another Path"(and the accompaning sequal) where Banner befriends a martial arts master who utilizes "mind over matter" and eastern philospies of disiplin in times of pain and healing. Of course the season begins with "Married" to most, the best of them, yet not any sort of political statement, a bit heavy and smoothering on the syrip of emotion if you ask me. Not just a tear jerk but a long and drawn out agnoy with this woman who was acted by Mariette Hartley. A good actress in all things(and celebrity) who was quite often, in those days ,type cast in to sci-fi "B" roles and usually the "pain bearer altruist" of sci-fi heroins. See the Star Trek soap opra (can't recall title,) Spock in central role as well the separate movies she did well into the 70's. She is actually a Susan Sullivan replacement to illustrate that Banner was in fact a human being who had a life beyond the futitive status and gives continuity to the pilot which otherwise would be too segratated to believe as part of the serial. Dispite a bit of cornball comedy and cliche 70's stereo-type impersionations(in joke) this(main plot) was also moving, yet a bit too drawn out like a ship lost in a storm at sea and under constant battle with the storm.(tiring). When I was a kid this was always one I had trouble watching("Married") as it was the first 1970's TV show to make one "tired".(except for that Jack O'Hallorn Made for TV movie about a huricane I suppose-tragic and all too long!)

Another Medicore TV release from Universal.............2007-07-30

Once again, Universal gives us a largely disapointing cheap release of a TV show on DVD. What's wrong this Time? Well almost everything. If you do not fall asleep listening to the producer's audio commentry or on camera interview, then you will get angry at the fact that once again the episodes do not seem to have been remasterd for DVD release, and if any effort was made at doing that, then it's very poor. On the plus side, all the episodes seem to be in their original edited versions as first shown on CBS, but when you slap on a thrid season episode as a bonus feature, then it comes off as cheap Universal marketing, That's all.

In the end, unless you really want this show on DVD to be in your collection, you are best off to avoid this Universal DVD trash making all together. I myself will be buying bootleg copies of various episodes from E-Bay.

The Incredible Journey Continues With Arguably Its Strongest Season!.......2007-07-17

While all the seasons of The Incredible Hulk had its share of good and great eppys, season 2 was arguably the strongest of all of them with the classics "Married" and "Mystery Man" as well as good episodes like "A Child In Need," "The Antowuk Horror", "Rainbow's End" and "Another Path."

Here is what you'll see:

Disc 1

Married - One of the legendary episodes from the whole series. Here we see Dr. Banner travel to Hawaii to consult Dr. Carolyn Fields about his condition. The relationship turns from doctor/patient into love but ends in tragedy in this gripping two hour episode! Bonus commentary that was originally featured on this eppy by Kenneth Johnson on the "The Incredible Hulk: Original Television Movie" is also on this release.

The Antowuk Horror - After an encounter with The Hulk, a local resident create their own "Hulk" to try to increase the tourist dollars.

Ricky - A mentally challenged young man is duped into driving a defective car in a demolition derby.

Disc 2

Rainbow's End - Seeing how a special indian compound worked to calm a wild horse, Dr. Banner seeks the remedy for his own terrible condition. He also must prevent the murder of this same horse.

A Child In Need - While working as a gardner, David runs across an abused child. While trying to investigate this, he tangles with the child's father. The Hulk dishes his own lesson to the abusive parent.

Another Path - While traveling, David meets Li Song, a blind martial artist that suggests his own techniques may be the path to controling The Hulk.

Alice In Disco Land - Dr. Banner encounters a child from his past (who is now an adult) with a drinking problem.

Killer Instinct - David befriends a football player named Johnny whose own aggression is out of control both on and off the football field.

Disc Three

Stop The Presses - A young reporter uses questionable means to gain a story on a local restaurant. David goes to stop the story because one of the pictures has a clear shot of him and could expose him!

Escape From Los Santos - While traveling west, David is framed as an accomplice with a woman (who is also innocent) for the murder of her own husband!

Wildfire - A saboteur tries to stop drilling on an oil site until The Hulk intervenes.

A Solitary Place - David goes to Mexico to find solitude in order to avoid changing into his green alter-ego. Unfortunately, trouble finds him as a fellow doctor seeks her own refuge.

Like A Brother - A battle between a local preacher and a drug dealer brings The Hulk into the fray! I personally call this one "Hulk In Da Hood!" LOL!

Disc Four

The Haunted - While working as a moving man, David finds a young woman haunted by a childhood tragedy.

Mystery Man, Pt. 1 - In this legendary two-parter, David suffers a bout of amnesia due to a car accident as well as facial burns. His only link to his memory lies with his enemy Jack McGee!

Mystery Man, Pt. 2 - While traveling to Los Angeles, David and Jack's plane crashes down in the wilderness and the two men are fighting both nature and a forrest fire! Also, McGee gains a huge clue into the identity of The Hulk!

The Disciple - In a follow up to "Another Path," David returns to an ailing Li Sung and helps a police officer see the blind man's wisdom. The officer is played by 80's rock star Rick Springfield.

No Escape - The Hulk accidentally helps a deranged man escape custody. Now, he must correct his error.

Disc Five

Kindred Spirits - David hooks up with an expedition that may hold a clue in how to control or cure his transformations. Guest stars a young Kim Catrell (long before her Sex And The City days).

The Confession - A lonely man, after an encounter with The Hulk, claims to be the creature's alter-ego!

The Quiet Room - David encounters a doctor who uses mind control to control his patients.

Vendetta Road - A young couple tries to bring down an oil company they believe was responsible for a loved one's death.

Bonus Episode:
Homecoming - In a taste of Season 3, we see David revealing to his father and sister that he is in fact alive! Meanwhile, a local tycoon wants David's dad to give up his land so he can build and will do anything (including murder) to see it happen. Another pivitol and legendary show from the series.

Overall, a very good purchase!

Incredible Hulk Season 2.......2007-07-16

Just to let everyone know who is getting this set they are including a bonus episode of Homecoming from season 3.I agree with what other reviewers said.Season 2 was the strongest season.

When the Hulk gets angry, his movie gets good, so you wish he'd get angry more often. Accepting this challenge after the triumphant Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee has created an ambitious film, based on the Marvel comic created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, that succeeds as a cautionary tale about mad science and traumatized children coping with legacies of pain. That's the Hulk's problem: After accidental exposure to gamma radiation, scientist Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) turns into the huge, green, and indestructible Hulk when provoked, and repressed childhood memories fuel his fury. Hobbled by the obligatory "origin story" (to acquaint neophytes with the character's Jekyll-and-Hyde-ish fate), there's room for little else in a sluggish film that struggles to reconcile Lee's stylistic flair (evident in his visual interpretation of comic-book technique) with the razzle-dazzle of a megabudget franchise. What's good is good (Jennifer Connelly essentially echoes her role from A Beautiful Mind, and Nick Nolte is righteously tormented as Banner's father), but the movie's schizoid intentions remain largely unclear. --Jeff Shannon

Fabulous HD DVD material.......2007-09-10

The movie is pretty long and it is slow to start .it takes a little time to get into action but then fasten seat belt.Ok you like or not this kind of movie and that changes everything from 0 to 5 stars.
On High definition matter this hd dvd is a must have and let's consider it as a real demo material.
So if you are looking to perfection in pictures and sound this Hd DVD is for you

Perfect !.......2007-08-11

The best image from the HD-DVD. Very clear end sharp images. The best for me.

A prime cut from the comic cow........2007-08-06

Weighty concepts underlie this funny-book story. The destructiveness of anger. How violence begets violence. Science unhinged from morals. Envy (that little green monster) and greed bring ruin to the world. The power of parents over children. The ability of love to soothe (but not eliminate) the savage heart.
Plenty of unreality (how would gamma radiation give a very large man/creature the ability to leap miles at a single bound?) and comic-book action to please the juvenile-minded. Outstanding special effects. Sam Elliott and Nick Nolte bring gravitas and prevent things from getting too mawkish. A stronger lead actor (playing Dr. Bruce Banner) might have made this a top-shelf sci-fi picture.

He's green, he's mean...but seldom seen.......2007-07-12

This is a long boring movie. Stan Lee revolutionized comics by adding an emotional and psychological background to the standard superhero story line. But this technique was just a frame to add depth to the main story of adventure, threat and action. This film focuses on the emo/psych part, leaving a piddling amount of screen time to the action part. This genre screams for action, not endless background plot. Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly both appear to be sleepwalking thru their parts. Nick Nolte scares everyone with an emotionally drenched method acting demonstration. There is not one scene containing humor, fun, wonderment, adventure, or any kind of thrill whatsoever. This film is a major misfire.

Can HD DVD picture quality get any better than this?.......2007-06-15

Though the movie did not gross as much as Universal had originally hoped, this HD DVD is still a winner! Even if you do not appreciate the film, it makes wonderful HD DVD demo material! Personally I liked the film, but I give the film itself a 7, story is 6.5, the picture is a 10 and the sound is a 9. Ang Lee (the director) did a good job using multiple scenes on a single screen using comic book templates! I loved to see Hulk Smash all the tanks in the dessert in pure HD! Batman can't be the only Superhero in you HD DVD collection and Hulk is a lot better than Superman!

Product Description

" Don t make me angry. You wouldn t like me when I m angry." Mild-mannered research scientist David Banner (Emmy nominee Bill Bixby) finds he must offer this heroic warning after exposure to gamma radiation transforms him into the terrifying and enraged Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Bursting from comic book pages into this 4-disc DVD set, the Complete First Season of The Incredible Hulk boasts all ten heart-pounding episodes, plus a preview episode from Season Two. Must-see bonus materials include the two original feature-length films, an introduction from The Hulk himself (Ferrigno), and in-depth commentary from producer Kenneth Johnson. Intense. Immense. Incredible!

Format: DVD MOVIE

Amazon.com

One of the best television adaptations of a comic book, The Incredible Hulk (1978-82) lent gravity and pathos to the fantastic premise--an experiment gone wrong causes a scientist to transform into a giant creature whenever he becomes angry--established in the popular Marvel Comics series. The network version stripped away the Hulk's outlandish foes (as well as his rudimentary speech) and instead focused on the loneliness of his human alter ego, David Banner (well played by the late Bill Bixby), as he traveled across the United States in search of a cure for his affliction as well as an escape from a prying reporter (the late Jack Colvin, also terrific). But despite its Fugitive-like premise, the TV Hulk never lost its comic book audience thanks to the plausibly ferocious performance by actor/bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno (whose growls were dubbed by actors Ted Cassidy and Charles Napier) as the Hulk, who handled the action portions of the show with plausibly superhuman brawn. The Complete First Season set contains both of the pilots that kicked off the series ("Pilot" was previously released on a separate single disc) as well as all 10 episodes from the first season; among the adventures encountered by David and the Hulk are a gambling scandal in Vegas ("The Hulk Breaks Las Vegas"), a meltdown at a nuclear facility ("Earthquakes Happen"), and a runaway plane ("747," which reunites Bixby with his Courtship of Eddie's Father co-star Brandon Cruz).

Extras on the set have been the subject of much Internet debate--the commentary by series writer/producer/director Kenneth Johnson on "Pilot" is the same as on the previous DVD release of this episode (as well as the introduction by Ferrigno), and a proposed gag reel mentioned in promotional material has been moved to a future DVD release. The sole fresh bonus material is "Stop the Presses," an episode taken from the series' second season. --Paul Gaita

Holds up surprsingly well.......2007-09-11

I'm the first to admit that nostalgia can blind us to the true merits, or lack of, any number of artistic endeavors. This is never more true than when viewing t.v. shows produced in the 70's and 80's. I was nine years old when The Incredible Hulk premiered. And, along with the Six Million Dollar Man, it was just about he coolest thing I'd ever seen. Even then, I knew that the Hulk was just a big strong man in green makeup, But it didn't matter. . .it was a comic book come to life. And what nine year old boy could resist that?

It was, then with no small amount of trepidation that I approached my old favorite as a 39-year old man. Would it seem cheesy now? I hoped not, but somehow I figured it would have to. Then I watched the pilot episode, probably for the first time at least 20 years. And you know something? There's not much childish about it. I got hooked all over again on the grown-up problems of this man, David Banner. I'm sure that in 1977, I endured all the drama because the payoff was coming: The Big Green Guy would come out and punish wrong-doers. But I really gained a new adult insight into the show. It's NOT about the Hulk, it's about David Banner.

To be fair, none of the episodes in the series' short first season really quite live up to the feature-quality pilot. But there's Bill Bixby, who makes Banner a wholly believable and sympathetic character. Of course, there's plenty of action for the kid in us all. And there's that tear-jerker piano theme that closes out each episode. . .as Banner must leave behind the new friends (or enemies) he's made and keep moving. And for the cynical-minded, yes, there IS some cheesiness to be had (my favorite: as the Hulk wrestles a grizzly bear, green paint rubs off on the animal in several shots).

In a world where nothing seems as good as it used to be (or maybe that's just middle age creeping up on me?), The Incredible Hulk still holds up quite well.

Home is Where the Hulk Is... .......2007-08-11

WARNING:Spoilers contained herein...
I'm a new fan of "The Incredible Hulk" (I wasn't alive back in the 70s) and am already hooked on this great story and series; just about everything here is as great as it gets. I guess not having been an original generation fan, and therefore not having spent years of disgruntled waiting for this release to happen, has allowed me to avoid the bad taste that Universal seems to have left in the mouths of some others. That said, I still fail to see how marketing issues, unfortunate as they are, could make anyone dislike the show itself (as seems to have happened with one reviewer here.) I think the DVDs themselves are fine; the packaging is great (perhaps better than the second set), the extras aren't much (though I can't say I've heard the commentary yet, nor seen "Stop the Presses" from season; the latter I'll probably just watch on the season 2 set), but the video and audio quality is good, with a little grain popping up from time to time (this minor issue will, I'm sure, elect enraged outbursts from "technophiles".) So the DVD itself is a 4/5 (it's a TV series so I don't expect that much in the way of bonuses; the occasional quality problems do merit a downgrade in the rating though) but how about the episodes?
First off, the grading of actual episodes breaks down into two categories: the two films (pilots) contained on disc 1, and the ten regular episodes contained on discs 2-4, and which make up the whole of season 1. For their part, the two pilot films are both enjoyable and important to the series as a whole (obviously; one is the first episode ever and shows the creation of the hulk!) "The Incredible Hulk" (Pilot) is a GREAT human film (and I do think that the humanity of Dr. Banner is one of the greatest elements of the series.) All acting, writing (script and story) are good to great, the action is exiting, and yes, heart-pounding (to use the cliche so joyously employed on the back of the DVD case.) The Hulk overturns David's car, setting it alight, pulls a tree and drops on into a river in an attempt to save a young girl (this whole scene is perhaps a highlight for the pilot Hulk-wise), and breaks into a burning building. The most important part of this episode, however, is the humanity and sadness of David Banner/The Incredible Hulk. This is brought through by the excellent (and often exiting) writing and direction of Ken Johnson, and the acting of Bill Bixby (Banner), and Susan Sullivan as his beautiful assistant, Elaina Marks (the rest of the cast is fine too, and watch of course, for Lou Ferrigno in his great premiere performance as the Hulk.) All of this serves to make the pilot an entertaining, well-written, well-acted, well-paced, exiting 5/5 film. "Death in the Family" (the second film) plays out pretty much exactly like a standard episode of the series stretched to two hours... and that means action, action, and more action! Of course there is great writing (a cracking murder plot) and acting behind this thing, but the suspense, excitement, and action (of which the great plot is a fine provider), along with characters drive it. The Hulk battles several ranching employees in the best Hulk vs. Man "fist fight" I've seen yet, and also wrestles a grizzly, and a snake while helping a girl and an old man (both acted to near perfection) through the woods for help. He also knocks a helicopter out of the sky with a boulder in an impressive show of special effects. All in all, this film is an engaging, exiting, rewarding, suspenseful, and well-made one. 4.5/5; in hindsight, a sign of great things to come.
The regular episodes: those programs running 50 minutes which make up a majority of this set. Favorites include: "Final Round" (love the whole boxing thing, exiting, well-written story, even if drug dealers are nothing new in action entertainment, engaging characters and acting of an at least competent level from the guest stars and GREAT action, no matter what anyone says; I don't know much about the "Rocky" movie thing from that time period, so I can't pass comment there; I just think this is an especially good episode.) I also like: "The Beast Within" (that gorilla), " Terror in Times Square" (my absolute favorite yet), "747" (my 2nd favorite; great, action-packed, brilliantly suspenseful episode, "The Hulk Breaks Los Vegas" ( merely good as compared to "747" or "Terror in...") "Life and Death" is a fairly good episode, if not outstanding, I greatly enjoyed "The Waterfront Story", a political piece with a solid cast/characters, great action and excitement and some humor (the barroom brawl scene being an example of the winning humor that, much to the episode's advantage, did not override the entire plot.) I have yet to view "Earthquakes Happen" but am looking forward to doing so soon.
Finally, there are two remaining episodes that I felt deserved special attention, for various reasons. First off is "Of Guilt, Models, and Murder" (disc 2, episode 3.) Here we find a clever plot (and fine script) involving David coming out of a metamorphosis in the apartment of model as the episode's beginning; the only problem is that the model is DEAD! Is the Hulk a murderer? Attempting to find out, David enters employment as a chauffeur for Joslin Cosmetics; the company headed by James Joslin (Jeremy Brett), had apparently hired the model. Here David uncovers a chilling murder plot...
This episode has, for various reasons, been called the weakest of season 1 by a number of reviewers. I beg to differ; it isn't the strongest, but as a fan of murder mysteries (and Jeremy Brett, Granada's "Sherlock Holmes") I found this episode highly enjoyable. The plot and writing were fairly good, as was the acting (OK, Loni Anderson isn't great, but she is fairly good), and it was exciting, suspenseful, and had some nice action. The action wasn't the best (one hulk-out scene was entirely in flashback, told from various points of view), but their is nothing sub-par about the Hulk battling a car crusher (and winning.) Good episode already; The Hulk, Bill Bixby, Jeremy Brett- what more could you want!!?
Last but not least, comes "Never Give Trucker and Even Break" (disc 3, episode 3) in which David assists Jonie, a trucker, exact revenge on a group of criminals/truckers who stole her Dad's "rig." This is easily the weakest of season 1 (again, I don't care what anyone says on this subject.) The humor works sometimes, the story and script (involving "very expensive computer components" in David's words) is far from the best, but does work, and there is good exciting action and things definitely pick up at the end with the second Hulk-out, and the telephone pole thing (which must be seen to be believed.) There is also an impressive piece of action as the truck crashes over the edge of a cliff, and explodes spectacularly. It has a way of growing on you (even just thinking about it) but is easily the weakest here; not that it's that bad, just a little below the standard set by previous episodes. 3.5/5
Overall, "The Incredible Hulk" show, and season 1 DVD, is great entertainment for those who enjoy action, and some character. Highly recommended for action fans, and those who can suspend their disbelief for a short while every now and then. Final rating: 5/5.

bill bixby/hulk.......2007-03-31

I had never seen the Hulk when it was on TV originally and was suprised to see the professionalism in producing this series. The stories are good and the acting is good. I found myself really becoming involved in the story lines and the characters. I bought the series for my grandson who is four because he loves the Hulk. However this TV series was a little old for him to understand the dialog and story line. I would recommend it for older children.

SURPRISINGLY WONDERFUL ENTERTAINMENT! A MUST BUY!.......2007-07-19

Okay, yes, I know. I'm giving high praise to a Hulk Hogan movie, or actually three Hulk Hogan movies (all from the same series). I'm a grown man with lots of degrees, a family, a wonderful life as a public school teacher in a respectable house, with children, a loving wife, and two dogs and a budgie. So that said, this is high praise indeed. The Thunder Collection is made by the same blokes who created Baywatch, which was a huge hit here in the UK, but frankly I never understood (except for the obvious treat for the eyes). However this Thunder series is a true joy. Colorful, fun, clever, amazing production, wonderful music, and what I would call a great escape. And isn't that what this is all about? The first in the three-play can be a bit confusing since it gave Hulk a wife and a different daughter. But it is still great fun, and has the wonderful contribution of our own alumni Patrick Macnee (he's in all three actually). The second really sets the pace. The best of the three, (though I love them all) The duo of Hulk and Chris Lemmon, Carole Alt's charm and beauty and the incredible production values makes this perfect winter time viewing (how delightful to see the blue skies, hot sun white sands and attractive woman wearing as little as possible!). I've been pleasantly surprised to read so many other reviews which seem to agree with me, since I thought I was going to be a fan in a land of curmudgeons. But I guess we are all the same under the sun, and know great entertainment when we see it. Excuse me if I echo some of the thoughts of the others here, but it's worth repeating. You can also watch this collection again and again, and if you have children... it's perfect for them. The action is more bombastic than bloody, and the use of Hulk's daughter (that is, the actress playing his daughter) in the film gives the movie a great "attitude" for kids to watch and feel apart of the adventure. The dialogue is amazingly clever, characters well drawn out (as mentioned before Bru and Spenser's "food tasting trick" in number 2, on a prison guard is indeed a down right classic, and their comic timing is as good as any of the folks from the Ocean 11+ movies. As said before, special attention should also be taken to one of the most exciting and hysterical chase sequences, up and down the Middle East buildings, culminating in a delightful "back and forth" with Bru and Spence, right up there with the "cliff jumping scene" in "Butch Cassidy". Also, Ms. Alt shows a wonderful comic timing. She is a gem! I'm sure there wasn't a very big budget, so I really was astonished at how "big" the movies look. Third one, literally blows the lid of... what with a final scene (not a spoiler, I promise you), where they blow up an entire school! In a world bereaved of shout-em-out entertainment for the whole family, this is a treasure. Really! And it should be a part of any collection where one wants to pop something in the player that's going to make them smile, laugh and be transported to another world for a few hours... it truly is like a ride at Disneyland, without the lines, nor the entrance fees.

just what i was looking for.......2007-05-21

have been searching for ages for this cheesy but ausm movies. they were in great condition. jsut disapointed about the quality of Tunder 1 as in the beginnig it looked like it was a burnt copy. but overall awsum

So lame it's entertaining.......2007-03-20

I used to watch this on TV late at night, and I'm disappointed that this is just the 3 movies and not the whole series. But it will do for now.

Hulk Hogan stars as R.J Hurricane Spencer, an ex navy seal who with his friend Brue Baker, also an ex navy seal, have constructed a steal speed boat with allot of technical gadgets that takes a page heavily out of Knight Rider's K.I.T.T, but in the form of a boat.

In the first movie the plot evolved around R.J marrying someone to help her save her hotel and kick the bad guys butt at the same time and in the free time making lame jokes and checking out the babes along the Floridian beach they live on. The beach scenes and slow motion women in bikinis looks much like something from Baywatch, probably cause they guy who did Baywatch IS the guy who did this.

The second movie there friend Kelly is taken to a foreign land by her new found love, only to discover that he will sacrifice her to save his country by making her marry the local warlord. So R.J and Brue are out for the rescue mission.

The 3rd movie see's RJ and Brue capture a Cuban drug lord and send him to prison, then a month later the Cuban drug-lords right arm man holds RJ's daughter hostage at a school with Kelly and other children in exchange for his boss.

All in all, the acting is not great. It's pretty lame, but it's entertaining. Some scenes seemed to be done either campy or just dumb on purpose but don't take notes on how to act from any of the main cast. Also in the episodes you see some old WWF wrestlers make small appearances such as Brutus The Barber Beefcake, Jimmy Mouth Of The South Hart, The Anvil Jim Neidhart, The Giant Gonzales, Tugboat/Typhoon and probably a few more. And also that guy who played the guy in the original Avengers series. About the best performance in all of them is Carey Hawuki Tagawa or whatever his name is, he played Shang T-Sung in Mortal Kombat, ya know the guy... well, he's about the only decent actor in the whole thing.

But it's fun, ridicules, stupid and funny. Coming on 3 discs isn't necessary, i think all 3 movies would fit onto the one disc. But oh well, just a cheap cash in and the price is reasonable. Would've been nice to have some bonus features, commentary or even subtitles, but i guess they figure there is only about 10 of us in the world who would buy this thing.

What the heck is with that cover? Could they have picked a worse picture to use?

Hulkamania Rules!!!.......2007-02-20

Watching this dvd brought back such memories.....I hope that they bring out the season in DVD.....Acting is lame but for us who remember the WWF, to see some of the old guys Brutus the Barber, Hercules..etc it is a fun trip down memory lane....

GREAT STUFF!.......2007-02-14

You have no sense of cinematic greatness if you cannot appreciate the first Thunder in Paradise film. Truly a sign of the times, it was part of the hero brotherhood that as a kid really made me believe guys like Hogan, Stallone and Arnold were indeed capable of anything. nowadays you can't watch a regular "guy" do awesome stuff like they did in the 80's. They have to be roman gladiators or scottish revolutionaries. The everyday hero is a thing of the past. While unrealistic, nothing feels better than to truly believe that a modern-day guy can larger than life. Now 2 and 3 were poopoo, but if you don't like the first one, you obviously didn't see it as a kid.

One Of The Best WWE Collections From THE Best Wrestling Superstar Of All Time!!!.......2007-06-14

This Collection Does A Real Good Job Of Covering The Undertaker's Career. If You Truly Like Undertaker At All Then This Is A Must Have. The Only Undertaker DVD Worth Getting. Almost 10 Hours Of Material Spanning His 13 Years Of Dominance In The WWE. And The Matches Really Show The Undertaker's Best Performances. If There Is Anything Wrong With This Collection It Would Have To Be That More Of The Matches He Had With Brock Lesnar And Kurt Angle Weren't Included. If Those Matches. That Really Took Undertaker To A Whole New Level, Were Included I Would Name This The Best WWE Collection Of All Time. But Lets Face It This Is Probably THE Best WWE Collection Of All Time Anyway.

I was very please with that!.......2007-06-13

Wow!!!
great staff the delivery was fast and i like it-the DVD is wonderfull

Thanks to Amazon

The Legacy of the Phenom- Match by match.......2007-04-04

This awesome three disc set does a good job with covering taker's wrestling career. This exclusive look at the dead man's greatest matches is a nice narrative that transitions well from one match to the next. The extras on the discs are mostly promos but they are very good. Some of the great matches on this set are taker vs. hbk in the first hell in a cell, taker vs. bret hart, taker vs. hogan from survivor series, vs. kane in the inferno match, and all the way up to his rematch with kane at wrestlemania 20. Most of you already have this disc set. But I would say to those who aren't a big fan of the undertaker (i cant imagine why you wouldn't be) that they should buy this disc set. This is truly a 5 star set which ought to be part of any wrestling fan's collection.

PHENOMEONAL........2007-03-18

THIS DVD SET DOES GREAT JUSTICE TO THE UNDERTAKER'S LEGACY. HIS FINEST MATCHES ARE HERE, AND THE MATCHES ARE ALL AGAINST HIS GREATEST OPPONENTS. THE WHOLE THING COMES FULL CIRCLE AS HE FIGHTS HULK HOGAN IN '91, AND THEN FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN IN '02 WHEN HOGAN RETURNED. YOU WILL BE GREATLY SATSIFIED WITH THIS DVD. ALTHOUGH AS OF THIS REVIEW, UNDERTAKER HAS HAD MANY OTHER GREAT MATCHES, THIS COLLECTION IS WHOLESOME AND FUN.

Rocky III: The third installment in the Rocky saga is the last one to matter, and in this case only marginally. The now rich and famous Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) triumphantly pummels a succession of boxing challengers until he encounters Clubber Lang (Mr. T), a human wall of brick who wants a piece of Rocky's action. The Rock's loyal trainer Mickey (Burgess Meredith) has taken ill and dies, so Rocky recruits retired opponent Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) to whip him into fighting shape after his embarrassing defeat to Clubber. Time for another rematch, mixed in with some family matters involving Rocky's brother-in-law Paulie (Burt Young), who's feeling neglected amid all the hoopla. Not bad as sequels go, boosted by Mr. T.'s taunting presence and yet another rousing finale. For those with a bad case of '80s nostalgia, the hit theme song "Eye of the Tiger" is sure to bring back memories. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Rocky battles his most powerful adversary yetthe ferocious Clubber Lang (Mr. T)in this hard-hitting actioner that comes out swinging with adventure, humor and emotionally charged human drama. For what may be the most exciting and fast-paced film in the series, Sylvester Stallone writes, directs and stars with explosive passion and intensity. As Rocky Balboa (Stallone) fights his way into the hearts of millions, life couldn't be better. He scores ten consecutive wins, lands lucrative endorsement contracts and becomes famous throughout the world. But when Clubber Lang KOs Rocky in a humiliating defeat, it becomes apparent that the "Italian Stallion" has lost his edge. Considering hanging up his gloves, Rocky receives encouragement from an unlikely ally: his old nemesis, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With Creed's help, Rocky strives to regain the "eye of the tiger" before confronting Lang in a grueling rematch for the world heavyweight championship.

My least favorite Rocky... but still not bad.......2007-08-07

At the beginning of Rocky III, the Italian Stallion Rocky Balboa takes on Hulk Hogan, as popular wrestler Thunderlips, in an exhibition match for charity. Rocky's just in it for the fun and publicity, but Thunderlips is out for blood. After this match we learn that Rocky and Adrianne are living large in Philly, Rocky is still best friends with Apollo Creed, and he's defended his heavyweight title 10 times. Then comes Clubber Lang, played by Mr. T, an overconfident, loud fighter from Chicago who demands that Rocky give him a shot at the title. Rocky's not taking him seriously, that is, until Clubber insults Adrianne at a press conference. Oh no he didn't! Rocky then decides he's going to get this guy in the ring and show him who's boss.

At the same time, Rocky's manager Mickey starts having heart problems. He tells Rocky not to fight Clubber and confides that his 10 title defenses were all set-ups. So now it's a matter of pride. Rocky takes on Clubber. Loses. Mickey dies. Rocky wants a rematch. Apollo trains him so that he can stand a chance against Clubber's strength and dexterity.

Rocky 3 is arguably the worst of the Rocky franchise (and FYI I'm not counting Rocky Balboa in the franchise bc we all know that was a bad idea), but it still ain't half bad. Mr. T is so loud and obnoxious it was almost amusing. Plus he's got some great lines including, "Balboa, you're done. You're through. I'm the baddest in the world," and "I'm going to torture him. I'm going to crucify him. Real bad." I mean, does dialogue get any better than that? Plus, you get to watch Rocky and Apollo train in little crop tops that wouldn't fit a 10 year old girl. If you're in the mood for a laugh, check out Rocky 3. If you want to see a GOOD Rocky movie, check out Rocky IV (Drago, anyone?).

The Most Thrilling Of The Rocky Series.......2007-07-23

I finally watched this movie, 25 years after its release. I was not too much of a Rocky fan in '82, though I watched Rocky IV two years later. Then, I saw Rocky II (I had seen the original when it first came out.)

Was this the best of the series? No, the first one was. I think the fact that the goal of Rocky lasting 15 rounds as opposed to the unrealistic goal of winning was excellent.

This one, though, had points that were unique. The concept of the "eye of the tiger" is ideal on keeping focus, keeping hungry. It can carry over out of the movie into all walks of life, such as Christianity. (In fact, I heard this movie used in a sermon at chapel at Bible college once.)

Even though this had the most action (three fights in this one -- one against Thunderlips [Hulk Hogan], two against Clubber Lang [Mr. T]), there were still some slow moments. But those slow moments were excellent in developing Rocky's relationships with his wife Adrian (Talia Shire, as always), his brother-in-law Paulie (Burt Young, as always), his son, and his manager (Burgess Meredith, as in the first two movies). This has always been the strength of the series to this point, though Rocky IV steers away from this.

Siskel and Ebert, when reviewing Rocky IV, commented that the series had great villains. Clubber Lang was definitely a foe you could learn to hate (one never hated Apollo Creed, and Drago in Rocky IV was more a symbol of the oppressive communist regime than a true villain himself).

One last comment I'll make is how well this movie illustrated racial harmony. The rivalry with Lang was clearly not based on race; Lang had a few choice comments for Creed as well. Later, you see Rocky at home in an all black involvement. It did touch on racism briefly in Pauley's character, but that was enough to highlight the developing friendship between the former champ and the one who dethroned him.

The final scene caught me by surprise, and don't think for a moment I will spoil it. I think Stallone outdid himself with the conclusion.

Rocky III - Review.......2007-07-20

The third chapter in the life of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) finds Rocky's lifestyle of wealth and idleness suddenly shaken when a powerful fighter known as Clubber Lang (Mr. T) challenges Rocky to a bout. After soundly losing, the previously overconfident champ begins training for a rematch -- with the help of former opponent Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Talia Shire and Burgess Meredith reprise their roles from the first two films.

Good movie.......2007-06-28

My Husband loves this movie. I gave it three stars because it's not my favorite one in the series.

More Punches Than Any Boxing Movie in History.......2007-05-07

Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky III" (1982) goes the distance as a pop-culture time capsule -- featuring Mr. T, Hulk Hogan and Survivor's smash hit "Eye of the Tiger." The film's slickness becomes its salvation, with an incredibly high punching rate during the climactic bout. Fast-moving escapism and the best Stallone-directed sequel apart from "Rocky Balboa."

Customer Reviews:

I'm not too crazy about this collection.......2007-08-16

Overall this is a disappointment for me. I wont turn this into an oversize b*tch session. And only point out the negatives. I'll be fair with this collection.

Pros. The first disk, if your a die hard wrestling fan that maybe the only reason to get this collection. A few of those matches were and are pretty hard to fine.
The entrance themes are present for most of the matches. To include there is some background given of each of these matches.
Jesse Ventura's commentary is present for some of the matches from what I remember.

Cons
I have nothing against Jim Ross. But I feel it shouldn't have been hosted by him alone. It should have been spreaded among another announcers and veterans of the ring. To include if possible, an interview with past champions.
The 2nd disk. I am not happy with the 2nd disk at all. All of these matches appear in their entirety on many DVD's. To include its the shortest with only 5 matches. Between 90-98? Can anybody say "rip off"?

I dont know what the he11 the problem is. But why can't wwe ever add the Cactus Jack vs. Triple H HINC match of 2000. That match isn't featured on anything. And that ppv is rare!

I really didn't care too much for this collection. For more reasons than I stated. I recommend this to those who dont have all these past ppv's. Its an excellent collection from that point of view. But most fans like myself were probably let down because of this release. At least wwe got it right with the history of the ladder match.

Quick review of the "history"........2007-06-13

I am extremely disappointed in the way that the history of the WWE title was presented. The personalities of the 70's, 80's and 90's are so much different and would have made this more colorful if we had guys like Mean Gene, Jesse Ventura, Jerry Lawler etc speaking on this subject other than the 'ol Bore J.R. To me he is NOT the face of WWE nor does he present the matches that well. The segment changes are choppy too. Im 28 years old and have probably seen alot of these matches 10 or more times anyway, but I would have liked to have seen better timeline segements from each title change and the storylines that embodied them. To be honest this should have been a six disc set with full length matches as provided but GIVE us more to sink our teeth into! The HISTORY of the Championship os misleading. This is the showcasing of the most popular matches over the years with TOO MUCH MISSING IN BETWEEN! For example I think what made Shawn Michaels so great was his charisma and rivalries. What made Hogan great was his behind the curtain friendships (not real life friendships, but his storyline friendships) like Hacksaw, Tugboat, Macho Man, Warrior, and others that he stood up for along with USA. You don't get the personal touch on this, its real cut and dry...and by DRY did I mention J.R. babbles between the matches? To me J.R. will always be that WCW southern bore. I loved Monsoons technical speak, Bobby Heenans wisecracks, Venturas brutal truth. To me McMahon and J.R. were the worst commentators, with the exception of J.R.'s "STONE COLD!!! STONE COLD!! STONE COLD!!! Rent it, don't buy. This sucks!

DISAPOINTING!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-30

WWE had a good idea about release a dvd about championship matches, But there's only one problem... I HAVE MOST OF THESE MATCHES ALREADY!!!! Kinda of a waste of money! This dvd would be ideal for anybody who dosen't have any wrestling dvds, but if you have a big WWE dvd collection, you might wanna forget about this one. I could think of some great matches that never were considered for this collection. "Sycho Sid Vs. Bret Hart On RAW is one of them. The fans voted for these matches so I'm sure somebody got their money's worth buying this. Buy this if you want to, But you might be disapointed like I was.

Absent.......2007-05-14

Good DVD. Left out Macho Man Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior to name a few. Would have been better if it would have had all of the meaningful title reigns rather than hand picking just the WWE favorite sons.

The Best WWE product in recent memory.......2007-04-15

The History of the WWE Championship is pretty straightfoward. It is a compilation of the most famous matches for the beloved WWE Championship, tracing back to 1971. This is the best WWE DVD product that has been offered since "The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection" a few years back.

Hosted by WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross, this collection includes the greatest champions in WWE history all in action, including Bruno Sammartino, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Hulk Hogan, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle and John Cena. This DVD really hits home, and includes a nice timeline of all the title holders and the dates of their respective reigns, plus a bonus video clip section which highlights every title change up until Edge's victory in July, 2006. Ross's narration also touches on the changing of the eras in WWE history, from the old days of Bruno and Billy Graham through the Hulkamania and Attitude eras up to the brand extension era of today. An amazing, amazing set despite those who have complained that a lot of these matches are already on other DVDs. If it is truly a great WWE Title match, then it should be on the DVD, regardless of how many times it has been released before. If they were not included in this set, then people would complain that they are not there. That is why it is called the "HISTORY" of the WWE Title, not "The Matches Never Put on DVD Before". Why complain when WWE has finally given us something this good?

Almost all of the matches are great, but the best of the best include:

Bruno Sammartino vs. Killer Kowalski
Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior, WrestleMania VI
Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania XII
Shawn Michaels vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin, WrestleMania XIV
The Rock vs. Triple H vs. Kurt Angle, SummerSlam 2000
The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin, WrestleMania X7
The Rock vs. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle,rarely seen match from Vengeance 02, and
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit, Royal Rumble 2003.

This is truly the greatest compilation of matches assembled into one 3-disc set. If you are a true fan of the WWE, past or present, then you definitely should not snooze on "The History of the WWE Championship".

The legacy of 1980's Airplane! has lasted a long, long time, as this dopey, 1996 comedy demonstrates. Leslie Nielsen, who has made a fortune starring in most of these intermittently inspired spoof movies, plays a secret agent whose code name is WD-40 and whose supervillain nemesis is the armless General Rancor (Andy Griffith). As the battle rages and the sight gags fly (the entrance to a hospital and sanctuary for nuns reads "Our Lady of the Never-Had-the-Pickle Convent"), WD-40 is aided by the beautiful spy 3.14 (Nicolette Sheridan). As always in these things, there are plenty of parodying references to other movies (Pulp Fiction) and tons of cameos (Fabio, Dr. Joyce Brothers, and such). The funniest stuff takes place in the first few minutes as "Weird Al" Yankovic sings the title song. Other than that, this is pretty mediocre. --Tom Keogh
