This is one of the best Jem videos, mainly because it is a movie-length adventure with a real conflict and tangible story line. The great pastel and neon colors and wild clothing fashions combine with the hilarous upbeat songs to create a fantastic flashback to eighties cartoon rock!
I managed to rent and watch this video with several friends in college. My magical but vague memories from childhood were totally explained as I viewed Jem from an adult perspective. What child can resist a tale of good versus evil in the form an evil record company producer trying to steal his partner's orphan's inheritance that ultimately comes to a climax with a battle of the bands!

When Jem first came out, I was just a baby! But I fell in love with her and I still catch myself singing songs like: TRULY OUTRAGEOUS AND DECEPTION. The cartoon has always put a smile on my face and even though I've seen it a million times, I just can't get enough of Jem and the Holograms....Hey I even love the Misfits!(MAKIN' MISCHIEF....REALLY MAKIN' MISCHIEF!) You can never go wrong with Jem!!!

Jem is a brilliantly animated cartoon! It was well-written and very inspirational to our youth. I, and so many others feel that Jem should be back! The children of the 90's are being deprived of this wonderful cartoon! Bring Jem back Amazon! Jem is the Ultimate Cartoon! This particular video listed as Jem "Truly Outrageous" is the first five episodes of Jem, consolidated into one tape and made sord of into movie. This VHS is the beginning of the madness, the excitement, the glamour, the fashion, and the fame. Highly reccommended! Unfortunately, the only way Jem fans can get ahold of this tape is through expensive auctions, and dirty rotten bootleggers. Amazon, listen to our pleas! WE WANT OUR JEM TV!

This video is brilliant and it features 2 spectacular episodes.

In "Hot Time in Hawaii," JEM and THE HOLOGRAMS are up against THE MISFITS in the Battle of the Music Stars but the event gets turned upside down because of an erupting volcano. THE MISFITS hire Zipper to train them in the art of cheating. Zipper then, kidnaps Kimber and ties her up under the erupting volcano. THE MISFITS are then disqualified for cheating!

In "Island of Deception" JEM and THE HOLOGRAMS & THE MISFITS work together to survive a beautiful but deadly jungle!

I think this is the video I have on tape from 8 years ago. I used to rent the videos all the time from Blockbuster and my dad taped this one. I really wished he would have taped all the videos that I rented when I was a kid. If I am correct, this is the first tape where Jem meets Cynergy and finds out her alter ego. It is so awesome!!!

Jem was an excellent, well-written show. It put in lots ofsurprises which made it always exciting! It was also very educationaland taught children (like me!) very good lessons about life, love, etc. Jem is the queen of all shows!!!! She rocks! It rocks! ]

Jem is the greatest thing to come from money grubbing minds of corporates since sliced bread. Never again will a show be put out that has such strong emotion and such a passionate following. I suggest everyone rent this video and fall in love with Jem as I did.

This was the defining cartoon of a generation that has lived to appreciate the style of both the eighties and the nineties... Jem was a classic, she blows Sailor Moon out of the water. GIMME JEM OR GIMME DEATH!

I'm so glad that I'm not alone in my love for Jem. The show is so heartfelt and fun, and positive! What great role models for today's girls. I had almost every episode taped when I was a young teenager, but when my mother finally discovered how to use the VCR, they have ALL been taped over with crappy movies!

I've loved Jem since I was very little. I have the doll, but that's not enough!! Come on, Amazon, I want the episodes! I have none, so this would be a great start! Why are the producers not releasing this????
