Description

There's magic in the memories as great Disney moments are captured right here for you and your family to enjoy. A two-gun terror and his terrified twin brother turn an old cowtown upside down. A blazing, rip-roaring, riotous saga of brotherly competition in a winner-take-all battle for an inheritance. Jim Dale (PETE'S DRAGON, UNIDENTIFIED FLYING ODDBALL) stars in a triple-header of a role, pulling all the stops out as he plays three different people: Old Jasper Bloodshy and his two sons.

5 out of 5 stars Great Family Entertainment.......2007-01-11

This movie is the top pick by all my grandkids(13) as one of their favorites!!

3 out of 5 stars Safe, pleasant, silly Disney western.......2006-11-27

Pioneering old man Jasper Bloodshy presumably - strong emphasis on the word `presumably' - leaps off a cliff to his death. His will is read and, to the surprise of all, it mentions a second son. The old man's fortune will go to either gunslinging son Wild Billy or his Philadelphia sibling, `tambourine thumping' missionary Eli, depending on who wins a frontier version of an iron man race.

HOT LEAD AND COLD FEET is a featherweight comedy/western produced by the Disney factory in 1978. The three Bloodshys are all played by British actor Jim Dale. Wild Billy is impossibly bad, Eli impossibly good, and old man Jasper takes an awful lot of pratfalls. Come to think of it, everyone takes at least one pratfall here, but Jasper seems to do it most often and from higher places. In any event, Eli (with two young orphaned children in tow, natch) travels west from Philly to the wild and rambunctious town of Bloodshy to compete in the race, become determined to clean up the town, and falls in love with the town's new school teacher, Karen Valentine. The movie is a series of slapstick routines, with some serious, unstressed undertones - the kids want a father, Eli wants to bring civilization to a lawless town. The slapstick and roughhousing is of the gentlest variety. Every five feet or so there's either a fistfight or a rowdy firing off his six-shooter, but no blood is ever spilt, no bullets ever find flesh. All things considered, this is about as gentle as they come.

The supporting cast is pretty strong. Although Don Knotts seems to be prominently featured in most of the posters and dvd jackets, his role is fairly small. He's the nervous sheriff of Bloodshy, and his biggest scenes come when he squares off against Rattlesnake (Jack Elam). They growl, grumble, and glare at each other, but something always seems to happen after they've separated themselves from each other by ten paces, counted to three and reached for their guns. Why they want to blast each other to oblivion is never explained, but their scenes together are entertaining enough.

HOT LEAD AND COLD FEET is about as family-friendly as they get. Like most Disney movies of this type it'll be best appreciated by the pre-teens in the family, and adults who don't need to be challenged by a movie. Teen-agers and young adults will probably find this one insufferably corny. A safe bet for family night at the home theater.

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2006-05-25

I remember watching this a while ago (I have it on VHS and will probably watch it again soon).

This is a great story about a father who has two sons: one is a tough, gunslinging bandit, and the other is a mild mannered preacher. The father leaves a will stating that the sons have to race each other in order to win his possessions. Hilarity ensues.

5 out of 5 stars With such classic Knotts dialog. . ........2006-05-18

. . .how can you say no?

Sheriff Denver Kid: Ssshhh! He's here!
Mayor Ragsdale: Who?
SDK: Rattlesnake! But I've got the edge on him!
MR: You do? How?
SDK: Because he's here and I know he's here. And he knows I know he's here. But what he doesn't know is that I know he knows I know he's here. So I've got the edge.

BEAUTIFUL!

5 out of 5 stars Yet another classic back for the next generations.......2006-03-24

Just like Private Eyes, Don Knotts and Tim Conway have stolen the screen again. A very unique comedy/western that only Disney could pull off. With a cast of Jim Dale and Jack Elam, only to be backed with Knotts and Conway, you know it's a winner. I grew up with this as one of my favorite movies, playing it over and over again. I am so thrilled Disney is starting to re-release classics.

Before Cold Feet, there was sitcom and there was drama. This 1997 newcomer straddled both worlds effortlessly and singlehandedly seemed to create a new genre for British channel ITV. Set in Manchester, the action revolved around three couples at different stages of the relationship-development continuum. In the pilot, Adam and Rachel (who dominated the plot) were barely a couple at all, Pete and Jenny were desperately trying to conceive their first child, and their friends David and Karen were married with a toddler called Josh. This is one of those rare but delightful examples of a sharp-witted and sassy script being wedded in perfect bliss to the actors' performances (as long as Helen Baxendale, who is decorative but lacks timing, didn't grace the screen for too long).

Mike Bullen's comedy drama was about the human condition writ large, but although its six characters go through a life's worth of emotions in each season and the action consistently draws on elements of farce, Cold Feet never strays too far from the bounds of credibility. Initially James Nesbitt (Adam) and John Thomson (Pete) provided the comic core but, as the series developed, Fay Ripley (Jenny), Hermione Norris (Karen) and Robert Bathurst (David) all proved they had comic capabilities worth exploiting.

The first series begins with Adam and Rachel celebrating an anniversary of sorts. Adam, revealing a propensity for slushy romanticism, decides to make a song and dance about it with fairly disastrous consequences. It's this same romanticism that gets him into trouble as a charming but incorrigible womanizer in later episodes. But not before the couple moves in together, explores their sexual fantasies, and then watches as the shine of love gets tarnished by petty irritations and Rachel's intolerance of Adam's bad habits. Meanwhile after all their struggles to conceive, Jenny gives birth to baby Adam, leaving her and Pete exhausted and wistful about their long-gone social life. By the end of the series David and Karen have gone one stage further and tried marriage counseling after David started having problems in the bedroom department. This takes some feats of persuasion on Karen's part--one of David's defining characteristics is his constant worry about what other people think--but the yuppie couple will see some of the benefits in series 2. Like all good drama, the series ends with a cliffhanger in the form of some bombshell news from Rachel, who is last seen boarding a train for London. --Emma Perry

Description

From its award-winning pilot through five hit seasons, this fast-paced, cutting-edge series—dubbed "the British Friends"—captivated U.K. audiences and critics alike. This is how it all began.

Three Manchester couples at different stages of settling down become entangled in love and friendship. As poignantly true to life as it is hilarious, Cold Feet has been hailed for its superb scripts, inspired editing, and trend-setting use of fantasy and flashbacks. The heart of the drama is the up and down romance of Adam and Rachel, played by James Nesbitt (Waking Ned Devine) and Helen Baxendale (An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, Friends). Also starring John Thomson, Fay Ripley, Robert Bathurst, and Hermione Norris. "Britian's coolest drama" —The Sun (U.K.). "A brilliant, quirky, sexy, funny, warm, unmissable ratings monster"— Daily Mirror (U.K.).

5 out of 5 stars Unbroken chain of the western wind, unbroken chain of you and me.......2006-04-27

What a clever little show this is. A fusion of comedy and drama set in the North of England in Manchester, once the home of the wealth and glory forged in the white heat of the Industrial Revolution and now the home of the greatest soccer team in the world, Manchester United.

This series has got it all. A mix of class and a little race thrown in with your obvious stereotypes. Modern men and somewhat less modern women against a backdrop of post modern England with the trams on the streets and emancipated women but where the same old problems of men relating to women appear again and again. The music is the sort of techno pop for which Britain became famous in the late 1990s and there is more than a little Cool Brittania about this show.

Others have dwelt upon the characters and plot lines of the show which are of less importance to me in the construction of this review.

What fascinates me here is the parallels which are established between three couples based on a combination of two friendships, two men and two women who between them draw in two other people which establishes the basis for the show. The relationships between all of the characters develop each week where clearly a longer time has passed enabling a snapshot of their intervening lives to be taken. In a fascinating crossover we experience a full gamut of emotions resulting from the complexities which evolve from both the developing relationships as well as the emerging histories of each of the players.

The cameras follow each couple from a common starting point each week which establishes a base and then as the comedic drama unfolds the complexity and the situations become almost moving stories themselves. The decision to site each character in a different work / home environment places that character in their own milieu which adds to the depth of the character development and brings a sense of normalcy to the proceedings which people of differing social groups can relate to.

I find too that the situations are also very credible and lifestyle depictions are also very realistic particularly the boys in the pub after work whilst the women of the household are waiting at home with their own priorities cast aside. While the female actors are all excellent I do find that the male actors exhibit a lot of the aspects of men which women love to hate and find comfortable at the same time. Having said that one of the great strengths of the scriptwriters is their uncanny knack of showing which gender is the clevere of the two.

All in all this is a very well produced, very entertaining and very thought provoking show which brings laughter and tears and which bodes well for future seasons.

Highly recommended

3 out of 5 stars Begins as Comedy, Ends as Soap Opera.......2005-12-13

I love well-written, well-acted shows that make me laugh. Cold Feet began that way, and the first disc of the first season is by far the best. However, the series develops into more soap opera than comedy. Lots of affairs, betrayals & cliffhangers. This pattern continues and intensifies in the rest of the seasons (2-5). If you like soaps, definitely buy this DVD set and the rest in the series. If you prefer comedy, rent the first disc and stop there.

5 out of 5 stars An Thoroughly Enjoyable British Comedy-Drama!.......2005-06-08

Set in Manchester in the late 90s/early 2000s, Cold Feet is a brilliantly written, impeccably acted, and very creatively directed comedy-drama about relationships. In particular, it draws attention to the differences between the sexes, and it does so in some very creative ways. For example, rather than relating the story in strict chronological order, pivotal scenes are often presented through the use of flashback as the characters relate incidents to their friends. In this way the male perspective is hilariously juxtaposed with the female, fantasy is juxtaposed with reality, and so on.

The series chronicles the lives and relationships of three couples. Firstly, there are Adam and Rachel--who aren't actually a couple when we first meet them. With an eye for the ladies, Adam (James Nesbitt--Ballykissangel's Leo) is a flirty, cocky, self-assured system's analyst--whatever that is--who is positively full of himself. Rachel (Helen Baxendale--An Unsuitable Job for a Woman), on the other hand, is overall much more serious and reserved--not to mention mature--than Adam. Adam is so upbeat, good-natured and playfully charming, however, that he brings a lightness into Rachel's life and, despite his inflated ego, it's not hard to see what she sees in him.

Adam's best friend is his mate Pete, an overweight, easy-going bloke from a working-class background whose two favourite pasttimes are watching football and downing a pint at the local pub. He's saved from having the life of a slovenly couch-potato by his marriage to Jenny, a laid-back, fun-loving, vivacious woman who's nobody's fool.

Rachel's best friend is Karen (Hermione Norris--Wire in the Blood), who despite being quite sophisticated with a cultured accent has a bit of a rebel streak. She has a baby and a posh home, but she's far from contented. Part of the problem is her husband David, who is a wealthy, high-flying management consultant. He's an extremely serious, anal-retentive, work-obsessed snob who was, um, born with the Financial Times up his arse (or so it's been said!). Being a connoisseur of fine wine with no interest in football and no noticeable sense of humour, he couldn't have less in common with either Pete or Adam.

This boxed set contains the pilot (1996) and all six 50-minute episodes that comprised the first (of five) series (1998). The first series is the lightest, with the humour often being of the comedy of errors variety. Though it is a very modern series (definitely one for mature audiences--this isn't family entertainment), it's not dirty; and though sex is often at issue, it is neither gratuitous nor drawn out and pornographic.

In conclusion, Cold Feet is a well-acted, well-written, and well-directed series--and that goes for all five series. It is witty, insightful, and funny to the point of being hilarious. In short, it is a thoroughly satisfying show to curl up with--one which becomes more dramatic and increasingly more addictive as the series progresses. Like the best British productions, it is a series that can be watched and rewatched. I personally have seen the first few series so many times that I've lost track; still, I never tired of rewatching it. The element of surprise may be gone with multiple viewings, yet somehow it just doesn't seem to matter. This is, without question, one of my all-time favourite series (of any genre), and it is one which I highly, HIGHLY recommend!

5 out of 5 stars Must Watch DVD.......2005-05-24

I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys the BBC programing like Ballykissangel (also a must purchase) or watching Friends, Mad About You, etc.


I saw an episode of Cold Feet on the BBC cable channel. After watching it I knew that I had to start from the beginning and watch each season. I've finished season one and am moving onto season two. This show makes me laugh. It's a must purchase.

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent TV Series from the UK!.......2005-08-24

This is an excellent TV series from the UK. It follows the life of three English couples, one newly dating (Adam and Rachel (played by the same actress who played Emily in Friends), who meet in the pilot), one newly married and trying for a child, and one that already has a child and seems destined to end.

The show is great because of the dialogue and the story, and was also compelling to me because the scenery is quite different from anything that we would see in the U.S. (either on TV or in the real world).

The show won an award from the British Academy of Film and Television. It deals with real life issues, including sex, and is probably too open with these issues to air in the U.S. without some censoring. There's actually only one or two scenes in the entire 5 seasons that actually shows any nudity, and its very brief and contextually appropriate (i.e., one involves a woman giving birth and the other a woman who takes a night job at a strip club).

If I had it to do over again, I'd watch series 1, 2, and 3. The show stalls a bit in series 4 and I hated the way the series ended in series 5. But, series 1, 2, and 3 are well-worth buying if only to watch once.

Although I'm writing this review before the release of this DVD, I have actually watched the entire series. I bought them from www.amazon.co.uk and watched them on a DVD player that is capable of playing Region 2 disks. If you are so inclined, there are a number of other good shows that have not been released here, including Teachers and Black Books, which you can buy at amazon.co.uk. In fact, this title is much cheaper (and you can get all 5 seasons) if you buy it on amazon.co.uk. However, in order to view UK DVD's, you must buy a region free dvd player.

You can find one by searching the web for "Region Free DVD Players." Amazon also sells the Gateway DVD Recorder and the LiteOn DVD Recorders, which are capable of being made Region Free (check out www.dvdrhelp.com for instructions) and can play the UK versions without any trouble.

If you like this show, you will also like Teachers and Black Books, which are also available at www.amazon.co.uk.

I love the British series Cold Feet. I started watching it when it was being shown on Bravo! a few years back. All of the seasons (or series)are well-written and acted, and the second one is no exception. Infidelity, crushes on friends, pregnancy, rekindlings of romance, job loss and serious illness are just a few of the topics that are tackled in the second series of this witty, smart and sexy drama. I can't wait until the rest of the seasons are released on DVD here in the US!

5 out of 5 stars Tom Waits Biggest and Funniest Role........2007-02-11

I'm always trying to find Tom in a movie..just to check him out. The gods will be kind one day when Wait's concert documentary Big Time comes out as a legit DVD. Bizarre that such a visual entertainer has no commercial work on DVD. Anyway, this film Cold Feet, is a romp that seems to start out a bit ruthless, and then turns into a road film. Tom plays an idiot/comic crook who really has his head up his butt.If you're a Waits fan, this film will make you smile as you watch Tom's character try to prove himself as a pro, but shoots himself in the foot all the way. Sally Kirkland shows how flexible her chops are as a sex/food nut, and impresses especially since this is so different than her work in her oscar nominated Anna. This is a breezy film and a gift for Waits fans. The role is bigger than what Tom had in Hecto Begencos' classic IronWeed. It's also very cheap used here on Amazon. The cast is all pro. Score is hip, and looks like it's also avail here on amazon for super cheap. Andre

3 out of 5 stars cool movie.......2007-09-12

I recommend this movie to men afraid of marrying and women naive to some men and the way they live and think, not all men just some men. Overall cool movie.

1 out of 5 stars The real "Cold Feet" is coming January 2005!.......2004-11-17

It appears that at long last, the real "Cold Feet" is coming to DVD on our side of the pond. The U.S. release date is January 25, 2005!! Looks like it's only the first season, but hopefully the whole series will be released as well. I can't wait!

5 out of 5 stars Cold Feet-UK series.......2004-08-29

I agree Cold Feet is a must see British series. I've seen all seasons. Worth getting a multiregional DVD player. Easy to order online. I have an RJ Tech only $150. Plus if you like The Office, the Christmas episode that aired on BBC last year (not available in the US) is soon to be released through Amazon.co.uk in October.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you to everyone for setting me straight!.......2004-05-20

And SHAME on Amazon - thought this was the perfect place to find exactly what you are looking for, but I see what you all mean about misleading! I can't wait to get my mitts on it - have loved it from the start then couldn't find it any more on TV - so will check out Bravo - but looks like that will be a bust too! Thank you for preventing me from buying the wrong thing! Shame! Shame!

1 out of 5 stars This is not the DVD you're looking for.......2004-04-28

As another reviewer said, the, "Better Together: Buy this DVD with The Office" is extremely misleading. The Office is an excellent British television programme, and Cold Feet is an excellent British television programme, BUT THIS DVD IS NOT IT! You can buy the DVDs of the British television programme Cold Feet from amazon.co.uk.
Reviewer rating:
Five stars for Cold Feet the British television programme
One star for Amazon trying to make you buy the wong DVD by mistake.

      Product Description

      The complete first 3 seasons of COld Fett (including Pilor episode) /// Three Manchester couples at different stages of settling down become entangled in love and friendship. As poignantly true to life as it is hilarious, Cold Feet has been hailed for its superb scripts, inspired editing, and trend-setting use of fantasy and flashbacks. The heart of the drama is the up and down romance of Adam and Rachel, played by James Nesbitt (Waking Ned Devine) and Helen Baxendale (An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, Friends). Also starring John Thomson, Fay Ripley, Robert Bathurst, and Hermione Norris. "Britians coolest drama"
