Neither Heaven nor Hell

Advantages: Classic Clarkson Humor, Can be picked up cheap
Disadvantages: Gets Repetitive, Same as previous Clarkson DVDs

...Top Gear, and in particular Jeremy Clarkson, I could not resist buying this DVD when I saw it cheap. Although Clarksons typical humour is definately present, which is good, I was quite disappointed with this DVD, which seems a bit rushed. OVERVIEW The main idea behind this DVD is that the so called cars of 'heaven' are driven round the track by Clarkson, as he talks breifly about their speed, handling etc, whilst the cars of 'hell' are demolished, ...
...to watch. CLARKSON Jeremy Clarkson is well known for his satirical humour, and he is very funny throughout this DVD, providing a good few laughs that brighten up the lack of interesting features throughout. He reviews the cars quite well for the amount of time he has, but stuggles to find a variety of things to say about each car, as they are pretty much all fast, expensive supercars. However for those looking to find the same Clarkson as they ...

Review of Jeremy Clarkson - Heaven And Hell (DVD)

CARS!!!

Advantages: 100 cars, nice cars CARS CARS CARS
Disadvantages: none

So what of the disc itself? Each year JC loosely bases his video on a theme but this one is very specific: his personal pick of the best one hundred cars, ever. As he says on the back of the disc box, you'd expect the list to be full of "Italian exotica and Japanese turbocharged play stations. And you'd be right. It is". There's only one "veteran" car from the early days of car making, and most come from the sixties onwards. There are a lot of performance ...
...such as the Mini and the Volkswagen Beetle. Being a personal list, there are choices based on cars he's owned, and a few quirky selections - the disastrous rally car experiment that was the Ford RS200? There are a hundred cars to get through in just over 70 minutes, so obviously not many of them can get a full look in. Many (most in fact) are just shown in a still photo with some text captions about why they are there, the sort of thing that would ...

Review of Jeremy Clarkson - Top 100 Cars (DVD)

Like cars? Then you'll love this!!!

Advantages: Great cars, great footage, great fun!
Disadvantages: Age restriction, lack of extras, little for non-car fans to enjoy

...taking part in the annual Gumball rally with all manner of beautiful cars. The filming consists of professional film and amateur film, taken by the participants, recording their reckless driving and trying to avoid the police as they travel 3000 miles from San Francisco to Miami. This is as close as you can get to experiencing the Gumball, without having to purchase a car and pay the entry fee. You'll get to see some crazy driving and get to know ...
...makes it an 18, so younger car fans can't experience it. Also if you aren't a huge car fan then you will find this uninteresting. This DVD is great value for money, and in my opinion the best out of the Gumball DVD's. Would definetly recommend. ...

Review of Gumball Rally 3000 (DVD)

Good dvd

Advantages: Extra Footage, back ground music
Disadvantages: Main Feature, menu

This dvd is mainly about driving very fast through the streets of stockholm, also has extra footage of motor car events across sweden, and has car reviews. This dvd has a few problems, the main feature not only is not very long, has poor camara footage and very little diffrent camara. The dvd also has extra footage of events with better camara work, also which has great background music. This mainly sees cars go round tracks, burouts, drag racing. ...
...that the box promises a music video and credits which are not in the dvd or on the menu at all, which was poor producing. Overall this dvd has a poor main feature but makes up for it a lot in extra footage, allthough all these problems it's not too bad!! ...

Review of Getaway In Stockholm - Vol. 5 (DVD)

Power Of Dreams

Advantages: Great car, Good footage
Disadvantages: Sometimes looks like a basic camara was used.

The dvd was the best out of the first three, it has many extra features such as a music video and other bonus stuff. the main feature overall is great with a number of camara footage of the Honda NSX going fast as it possably can go through stockholm without the swedish cops managing to catch him. The footage does look basic at sometimes and not very profesinal, although it adds to the excitment slightly. The dvd is great to watch with the Honda ...
...stop someone else for speeding. The car has been tuned to give out more power to get away from the cops, not that it needed it anyway. The end is very good but i won't spoil it for you If you have seen the past GIS dvd's this is a must have also if you like street racing dvds you'll love this. Thanks for reading. ...
