5.0 out of 5 stars the best of all the figure skating videos, July 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This contains the following uncut performances: * Rudy Galindo's FP in U.S. nationals * Viacheslav Zagorodniuk's FP in European Champion ships. * Ilia Kulik's SP in World Championships. * Todd Eldridge's FP in World. * Michelle Kwan's SP and FP in World. * Lu Chen's FP in World. during 1995-1996 season.

The last two performances by Michell (Richard Starauss' Salome) and Lu (Rachmaninoff's piano concerto No.2 2nd. mvt.) are still the most perfect performances that I have ever seen, even after Nagano Olympics in 1998. This is a must for any figure skating fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tape!!! Buy it now!!!, April 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This a a well-produced, well-thought-out tape. It documents (arguably) one of the best years in figure skating history, the 1995-1996 competitive season.

This tape mainly features skaters from the United States, but also highlights performances from Ilia Kulik, Lu Chen, and Irina Slutskaya.

Best of all, it cuts out a lot of the annoying commentary that you often hear on regular skating broadcasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, February 1, 2001
By 
Sk8Fan (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video is fantastic. Like the other 2 "Magic Memories" videos, it relies mostly on competitive performances of skaters with just enough of the behind the scenes extras to make it intriguing. Michelle Kwan's 96 Worlds performances - Romanza and Salome - are included in their entirety, along with Chen Lu's Rachmaninoff LP. No annoying extra commentary, just skating. Rudy Galindo's priceless LP at 96 Nationals and his emotional reaction are on this video as well. And, Todd Eldredge's winning LP from 96 Worlds is uncut and stunning. The complete LACK of the usual annoying cuts and extra voiceovers make this a one of a kind chance to relive these performances as if it were the first time.

The quality is excellent - sharp, clear and bright. The only thing I didn't like about this video was the fact that it had to end. This remains my favorite commercial skating video ever and I highly recommend it, as well as the first two in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining!, September 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In this video you get to see Rudy Galindo's momentous 96 Nationals performance, Lu Chen's gorgeous LP at 96 Worlds, and Michelle Kwan's two beautiful and perfect programs-- Romanza and Salome, also at 96 Worlds. This is a great tape for those of you who wanted to see what these performances were like. Thankfully, the annoying commentary is eliminated!

4.0 out of 5 stars This video is worth your money and time!, November 19, 1999
By 
Lisa Engelken (St. Louis,Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video shows a wide variety of programs and really captures the emotion of the programs. It shows Michelle Kwan's 1996 short and long world's programs. It also includes Todd Eldrige's and Rudy Galindo's national and world performance's. This is a well made video and there isn't too much talking by the narrator. By this video while it's still available!

4.0 out of 5 stars Memories on Ice, October 22, 2002
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In this video, we are treated to the 1995-1996 season of amateur figure skating. Magic Memories On Ice III highlights one of the best seasons of skating, where Michelle Kwan is pretty much the focus here. In this volume, we see Michelle Kwan's rise to 1996 U.S. National Champion, and an unforgettable duel for the World Championship between her and Lu Chen of China, where Michelle ended up the victor. But there are also other gems in this video: Rudy Galindo's excellent skate to become national champion, Todd Eldredge's Gold Medal World performance, plus little caps from other international skaters. Actually, come to think of it, Magic Memories On Ice III showcases a lot of "firsts" for skaters, the previously mentioned winners as well as Russia's Irina Slutskaya's first European Championship. And the annoying commentary from Dick Button is practically deleted, replaced with the pleasant and only occasional word from Dick Emberg. Every skating fan should have this.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU LOVE MICHELLE THEN YOU'LL LOVE THIS, May 22, 2001
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is one video you need to own if you are a fan of Michelle. Although she is the greastest skater in the world, you can still see how much progress she has made since she frist appeared to the world sceen. Eventhough she was only 15 you will be able to feel the power she expresses herself on ice through the tip of her figures. It's the best video every and one that you will not regreat getting it.

5.0 out of 5 stars RUN DON'T WALK to the store and buy this!!!, July 30, 2001
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I agree with everything that has already been said about how great this video is -- it shows both of Michelle's most legendary programs in their entirety, as well as Lulu's mesmerizing LP at Worlds. You also get a glimpse at things to come as Tara Lipinski blazes through the end of her LP at 1996 Worlds. :) And of course Rudy's Nationals performance!

The only thing I really missed on this tape was the commentary that was running over Rudy's LP at Nationals. I don't ever remember Dick Button being so speechless and excited at the same time, and the commentating over his program made you really feel like you were actually there. Other than that very small complaint this video gets an A++ and is an absolute necessity in any skating fan's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can find this video buy it, March 2, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Excelent video. Better than the 1998 olymipic video and that DVD is 25:00 compared to the 13:00 this one is. Elvis has a wonderful long performance. Has many of the current skaters in it. If you were to see those skaters live today probably cost you 35:00 dollers to the 13:00 you pay for the video. The copy I saw was in decent shape but because of blemishes you lost two minuates of the video. To make it 81 minuates instead of 83 minuates. This was probably to due the fact that I had to rent it from the library because I could not buy it any where. Watch this video twice. When I can buy the video I will because it is worth it to see it a third time. My second chose in video would be Best of Stars on Ice. A bit short only 50 + minuates and only shows 9 acts out of thirty which are in the show it is very very good video. To see show live cost 60.00 dollars. To buy video should cost 20.00 dollars.
