1.0 out of 5 stars This 67 minute version is cut. The 73 minute version was cut, May 1, 2005

This review is from: East Side Kids - Kid Dynamite (DVD)

This version is 67 minutes long. The previous version on VHS and on some other DVD is 73 minutes.

Note - Even the 73 minute version is cut.

There is a very important scene involving the taking of tires. Part of the scene showing important information to the story is cut.

I fortunately caught the uncut film on PBS a number of years ago, thus was able to notice this.

By the way, why does Amazon include a 'NO' in 'was this review helpful to you?'. People are only human and don't like opinions that differ from themselves, thus the 'NO' makes it too easy express such displeasure.

Are they trying to discourage negative reviews, hence not purchase the CD. Such reviews only help a person in not being dissatisfied a product that received positive reviews

2.0 out of 5 stars More drama than humor for this East Side Kids entry., August 1, 2002

This review is from: East Side Kids - Kid Dynamite (DVD)

This Monogram Picture of The East Side Kids is much slower than the later Bowery Boys incarnation. The last 15 minutes of this 64 minute movie is devoted to World War II patriotism. Nothing wrong with patriotism, this film just makes war look honorable. The beginning of the film aims at Muggs getting Kidnapped, but the bulk of the story is about the relationships between the gang members of The East Side Kids. Leo Gorcey's humorous banter is there for us to enjoy, and Huntz Hall is a scene stiller!
The FRONT ROW DVD is mastered from an original 16mm print, the sound is crisp and clear and the picture is sharp with good contrast. However the original print used in the transfer has many splices, at least four times a word of conversation is lost in a splice. Considering the "Poverty Row" aspects of Monogram Pictures I can accept this and enjoy the clear picture. The dark night scenes show some artifacting, but they are few and far between. Usually the picture is sharp and clear.

This review is from: East Side Kids - Kid Dynamite (DVD)

The story centers around Muggs and Bobby Jordan.Bobby fills in for Muggs at a boxing match and that's where the trouble starts. The film is fast, funny, and very entertaining. Huntz Hall and the rest of the gang are there too. Look for the scene with the dancing contest. It is very good! Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall put on a good and hillarious dance act! This film is a winner!
