2.0 out of 5 stars Three Little Fishies where are you?, April 20, 2006

This review is from: Birds of Prey (DVD)

One of the integral pieces of this film is the 1940's music soundtrack. For example, Harry Walker's (Jansen) favorite song is "Three Little Fishies". At one point in the chase, he can be seen singing along with the record. In this travesty of a DVD, he's singing along to some xylophone solo. Until somebody "fixes" the DVD, I'll have to stick with my home recording that KABC hacked up to fit in the commercials.

4.0 out of 5 stars Critique from a Helicopter Pilot and 40's music aficionado, January 11, 2007

This review is from: Birds of Prey (DVD)

My only disappointment with the this DVD is that the original soundtrack music has been altered (I will assume for licensing purposes). This results in two anomalies: the soundtrack is out of sync in some portions of the film and the first-time viewer of this film may wonder why the main character is waving his hands in 2 of the film sequences. The flight sequences (stunt flying) will be appreciated by any helicopter pilot; however, I miss the original music. If I could buy an un-altered copy I would gladly do so.

3.0 out of 5 stars What did they do to the original?, December 8, 2005

By 

Selqet "Silky" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Birds of Prey (DVD)

One of the most interesting aspects of the original was that the WWII veteran used a lot of swing band jazz titles as dialogue, which wasn't as corny as it sounds when coupled with the flying action and the matching WWII era song soundtrack. Why would they undo that?
