The best
Mon, Jun 4, 2007, 06:00 PM
I say that this is the best DVD that has ever been done by this troup. Their DVD debut is one that is not amateur by any means.
First of all, the Gamers is an awesome movie even for non gamers such as myself. I know plenty of them but I don't participate.
That being said, the movie is really well done despite shoestring budget, time constraints, and missing actors in certain scenes (watch the DVD commentary and you'll see). THe movie doesn't just survive on wit alone... it thrives on it.
The special features are nothing to scoff at. With several commentary tracks (the one with the actors is hilarious), behind the scenes, bloopers, previews, easter eggs, and a music simulator it is what all DVDs should be. A movie that is enhanced by its features so much, that the overall movie feels like several movies because of it.
Highest marks!

I bought the original VHS of this back in the day. Then got the DVD. The VHS was hard to swallow for me because there were no special features in it to speak of. I hoped that the DVD would at least have the Dead Gentlemen signature blooper reel. I was not let down as the features were JAM PACKED. It was everything I wanted and stuff I wanted after I watched it.
With that out of the way, this new DVD provides nothing new to top that. A few revamped special effects definitely helps the visual appeal, a few good skits, and Revamping Doyle. This DVD should have been Dead Gentlemen Rehash (No that's not a bad thing). With the long awaited Revamping Doyle, the online podcast show that they promised would be on DVD, and a sketch that never made it to air but was funny anyways... it really is a good addition to the set of DG DVDs I have. However, if you're just a fan of the Gamers and wish to have a really in depth DVD on just that... go with the other one that's available.
   
Three for a reason

I'll be the first to admit that I love Dead Gentlement Productions. Ever since a friend of mine showed us the rough VHS copy of Demon Hunters and the bootleg cut of Dead Camper Lake back in 2002, I have been addicted. There's just one problem... in terms of dead camper lake this DVD rocks. It has the bloopers reel that was taken out of the credits, behind the scenes features, and the version of the movie on the bootleg VHS which I feel was better despite the length (which also wasn't an issue).
The big markdown comes from a BIG cardinal sin on the production end. YOU GUYS FORGOT TO PUT THE ORIGINAL BLOOPER REEL IN! The original Demon Hunters blooper reel was THE BEST!
Other than that, the dvd is quite goood and provides hours of solid entertainment. 3.5 stars.
