I used to have a lot of Baywatch's from TV taped on some videos but this is the only one i have now,and it's the actual video as represented here. It's a unique episode in which it's the only one in Baywatch history that features my three favorite blonds on the same episode...that being Pamela Anderson,Nicole Eggert and Erika Eleniak. You see,Erika's last show was this one and it happened to be Pamela's first.This is also Nicole's debut episode. So,that's a little Baywatch trivia i guess. Anyhow,decent story with awesome scenery as it takes place away from the beach (mostly) and is set somewhere on the Sacramento river. It'll make you wanna go camping watching this. The only sour parts of the show for me was Hobie constantly singing that gold miners song (you wanna strangle him after the 2nd time) and the fact that Erika (Shauni) cut her hair at some point and has it short. It should be long like Pamela's!!

Just swell.

I bought this DVD thinking that 'Nightmare Bay' was, as described, 'the feature-length movie that started it all'. Wrong. As I discovered upon watching it, and remembering back about ten years, 'Nightmare Bay' is actually the two-parter that started the SECOND season. 'Panic At Malibu Pier' was the real pilot film, and the one I was really after. I wouldn't mind so much, but it was neither the film I was after, nor was it very good. The second season was made with a small cast and lacked any of the glamour of the first or subsequent few seasons. 'River of No Return' is a bit better, being the start of the 3rd season and the story where Pamela Anderson, Nicole Eggert and David Charvet were introduced (and where Billy Warlock and Erica Eleniak bowed out).

So, if it's the pilot you're after, this isn't it. The only place I have found it is on Amazon.co.uk, on the VHS PAL format. That's okay for me, but most Amazon.com shoppers are probably live in the US and need NTSC. Hope this helped.

At least Baywatch is in Dvd.

This Dvd contains 2 episodes one in each side of the Dvd of the 1991-92 season of the show.

The first one Nighmare Bay with Erika Eleniak(Shauni) follows an press investigation in the Santa Monica Bay about a Sea Monster which destroys boats on the ocean and a girl photographer is saved by Mitch Buchannon from a safe dead.

Shauni also saves a girl from drawning on the ocean after being pushed by her brother.

The second River Of No Return introduces Summer(Nicole Eggert) and his mom when moving to California and they met Jackie's ex-boyfriend which wants to return to her life and they are helped by Matt Brody(David Charvet) a fellow Malibu student who wants to be a lifeguard.

Mitch's uncle is killed when escaping from 2 hunters that wants his gold boot treasure that is hide somewhere in the river.

So Mitch goes there for an answer and to locate the treasure.

He goes with Hobie and Eddie and Shauni and then they find C.J. Parker(Pamela Anderson) a local kayak fanatic which joins them into the rapids of the river.

After locating the secret location of the treasure they are captived by the hunters,they escape,are pursued by them and finally they lost the gold located on the kayak which broke.

Finally there is a rookie swimming contest on the beach to qualify for Baywatch,CJ Summer and Matt and his friends qualifies winning the race.

The Dvd transfer is good,clear and full screen ratio with clear sound.However no subtitles nor captions are avaliable.

I'm waiting to see more episodes transfered in special the ones with Jasmine Bleeth.

I wanna more episodes!!!!.

I dont get it, id like to see it but not for $100 lol?

Weard they didn't produce more DVDs of Baywatch. I'd like that. Specially a DVD with episodes that include Yasmine Bleeth. If you liked the series, then the DVD is for you. They took two episodes of Baywatch and made a DVD with them. I personnally loved this DVD since I am a Baywatch Fan. Erika Eleniak is in both episodes, Pamela and Nicole Eggert are in only one of them.
For Baywatchs fans, this DVD is a MUST.

Two Feature length Baywatch episodes on one disc,Brilliant!! If your a fan Of baywatch and own a dvd player you must get this disc.I don't know why they don't release more of them on DVD,I'd buy them. Basically its wholesome family escapist entertainment .What more could you want. Worth it alone for the opening moments of 'River Of No Return' featuring 'Big Dave' seemingly reluctantly striping off his clothes at a beach tower in front of a load of chicks playing volley ball.

Season 1 was great, gritty storylines, realistic credible characters and some great music montages. This disc features the Season 2 pilot episode called Nightmare Bay. Gone are Parker Stevenson, Brandon Call and Shawn Weatherly only to be replaced in this episode by Jeremy Jackson as Hobie, Tom McTigue as Harvey and for this episode only Andrea Thompson as Devon Connor. David Hasselhoff, Billy Warlock and Erika Eleniak remain from season 1. This was a good episode in places including a great rescue scene featuring Erika Eleniak (Shauni) saving a young girl from drowning and befriending her and her family. The rest of the show follows a monster in the bay storyline which turns out to be a mini-sub. The second side of this disc features the pilot episode of season 3 - River Of No Return. This episode sees the debut of a whole new cast of characters including David Charvet as Matt Brody, Pamela Denise Anderson as CJ Parker, Nicole Eggert as Summer Quinn, Kelly Slater as Jimmy Slade and Susan Anton as Jackie Quinn. This episode also features the marriage and departure of Eddie (Billy Warlock) & Shauni (Erika Eleniak) after a white water rapids adventure with Mitch, Hobie and CJ. Overall this DVD is one I would recommend, it's really the last parts of Baywatch you'll find before the show really lost any credibility it had and earnt the name Babewatch.

Cast includes: David Hasselhoff as Lt Mitch Buchannon, Billy Warlock as Eddie Kramer, Erika Eleniak as Shauni McClain, Monte Markham as Captain Don Thorpe, Richard Jaeckel as Lt Ben Edwards, Andrea Thompson as Devon Connor, Tom McTigue as Harvey Miller, Pamela Denise Anderson as CJ Parker, David Charvet as Matt Brody, Nicole Eggert as Summer Quinn, Kelly Slater as Jimmy Slade & Susan Anton as Jackie Quinn.

Great Stuff. Two feature length baywatch movies from the early 90s. Nightmare Bay is Billed as the Feature lengh episode that started the show. But that is incorrect, as the pilot episode is Panic at malibu pier. And Nightmare bay is an episode from the second season. watch out for a hilarious Hasselhoff sequence at the start of River of no Return in which he strips his clothes off on the beach to music in front of gilrs playing volley ball. If you like baywatch, You must Own This.

TO SAY THIS DVD ROCKS IS INANE,WHO WROTE THIS REVIEW,A FIVE YEAR OLD? THE DVD SUCKS APPLESEEDS!

Of the suprisingly few BAYWATCh Home Videos available, this is easily the best. Having Erika Eleniak, Nicole Eggert, andf Pamela (Denise) Anderson all in one episode is amazing enough, but , in a show often critisised for lack of plot, this one really does make you pay attention.
