4.0 out of 5 stars Oldies but Goodies!, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Ice Skating Showcase - Great Routines of the 1980's! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I bought this video I wasn't to keen on getting "Golden Oldies" performances! But anyway I pressed on and watched it, and I loved it. Now it is one of my favorite skating videos that I own, and I have to watch it at least once a month! My favorite performances on the tape are Torvill&Dean's comic tango, and Scott Hamilton's When I'm 64, routine!

This review is from: ICE SKATING SHOWCASE: Great Routines Of The 1980s (DVD)

First, these are not their Olympic performances, but mostly watered down professional routines. Double turns in the jumps, not triple turns, easier routines. Then, mostly annoying, the music they perform to is so soft that you almost can't hear it. I never realized how much a part of the show the music is until I watched this disc. There is annoying talking that is quite loud, telling you what you are watching. It is just a very unsatisfying DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad audio track, February 27, 2001

By 

Neil Herbert (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ice Skating Showcase - Great Routines of the 1980's! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The performances included are good, BUT one CAN NOT HEAR THE MUSIC that the performers are skating to. The music is at a very low volume with some female talking very loudly over it telling that they just did a "triple something". That amateur commentary was not necessary and is very distrubing. The audio "engineer" (if you can call him that) and the producer of this video should go back to high school and enroll in freshman audio-visual!
