Four months after the release of Buddy Boys: The Movie comes the next in what will be a long line of movie theme merchandise and collectibles celebrating Golden Roll Productions first featured film. This packaged was designed to take the viewing audience on a musical journey through the film. The package contains special videos for the T.P. Gang and Bandits. Some of the most popular tunes from the movie are used as the music beds as well as the original T.P. Theme Song.
The showcase video for the Bandits uses a song from Pseudo Echo entitled "Love An Adventure". This video basically uses only scenes from the film. However some of the films bloopers and reverse angles are incorporated into the video to give the rough Bandits a softer look.
Probably the best video in the collection is "Never Say Die" a song performed by Bon Jovi. This song is another reference to the Young Guns films. At one point you can even see Bill Shute acting along with the words in the song. This video is the showcase for the T.P. Gang. There is a good amount of film shots, but there are plenty of bloopers and never before scene footage shots from the original test shoots from the 1990 writing session which appear here.
One of the most popular scenes from the film was re-released here. The entire desert sequence is the highlight of the collection. One of the reasons for the success of the scene is the utilization of the entire cast.
The extended car chase featuring "Only The Strong Survive" by Bryan Adams was an attempt to convert movie footage to concert footage of Adams. The concept was a good idea, however the concert footage didn't match correctly and looked out of place.
The final video in this collection is billed as the "Original T.P. Video". If the film gave away all of the T.P. Gangs' secrets, then this video shows how to apply those secrets in a practical TP experience. This video shows actual footage of the T.P. Gang "at work".
The concept of the package was good. Unfortunately, the final result good use some touch up work. Poor transfer of film and bad sound editing delivers a poor production. With touch up work, this collection could be good.
This video is appropriate for all audiences
