Buy the original release if you can find it, July 21, 2008
This review is from: The End (DVD)
The End is one of the best skate videos ever released, but the special edition is horrible. I was excited to find this DVD and jumped at the opportunity to buy it, as soon as I started watching it though I had to turn it off. This version is unwatchable if you've seen the original release. They changed almost all the music and the skaters parts are synchronized to the music so it loses all its magic not having that synchronization. I literally had to turn it off and stop watching. I wouldn't even pay $1 for this version but would be more than willing to spend $30 or more for a VHS copy of the original.

Some different songs., April 16, 2008
This review is from: The End (DVD)
This video is great and its classic, but what happened to the Under Pressure Song and Willy Santo's old song. I dont think they could get permession to use them and the under pressure song went perfect with the part.

Wacky sk8boarding fun 4 every 1!, March 4, 2002
This review is from: The End (DVD)
What video has exploding vans, beer guzzling chimps, hardcore porn queens, and a gnarly decapitation? Why, it's THE END from Birdhouse of course! Yea, this thing is mostly high concept, but there are a few straight forward themes like Bucky The Psycho killing Tony so that he can be #1. Hey, be sure to catch Tony's varial 720 on that HUGE ramp!
Steve Berra's beheading was ultra cool, but maybe not for the younger crowd. It was nice of the CIA guys to drive up and put the head in a bag. No nudity from the porn girls (darn) but plenty of cleavage (yay)! Heath and Jeremy get all lit up for a flaming shed grind and 50 foot pier ollie.
There are sub-menus for each skater where you can check out pro-model decks and various old clips. It's amazing to see what these guys were capable of at an early age. Heath does a backside 360 double kickflip down some steps and a backside shove-it to frontside 360 shove-it down a ledge! Willy does a triple kickflip, no problem. Jeremy ollies over his car, no ramp. Tony launches from one 5-story building to another, no net. This stuff is SICK SICK SICK!!! Enjoy.
