If you own the NFL Films Superbowl I-III collection, you don't need to buy this item. I was disappointed. I thought it would have been produced by the Dallas Cowboys NOT NFL Films. I thought it would have included a recap of each of the Cowboys' seasons and then the Superbowl highlights. It does show all the 5 Superbowl highlight films produced by NFL Films but not a recap of each Cowboy season, only a recap of the NFL for each of those years. It is nice though to have all 5 Superbowl highlight films in one package. IF you dont already own the superbowl collection produced by NFL Films for all 30 superbowls, this is a great collection to own if your a Cowboy fan like myself.

If you are a Dallas Cowboys Fan,this is the best of the best. The '90's were an exciting time for Cowboy fans and this video is a review of the best Super Bowls ever played.

I bought this for my resident Cowboy Fan husband for his birthday. He's already watched it and loves it. Knowing him he'll watch it over and over.

i have not personally watched this DVD (it was a gift for my husband) but he has watched it and absolutely loves it!!

My dad was so excited when I bought him this collection. He, a devoted cowboy fan, already had the super bowls taped but loved that they would be in on spot and on DVD.

This is a DVD which covers the 5 NFL championships of perhaps the NFL's most storied franchise: the Dallas Cowboys. It discusses their Superbowl victories in 1971, 1977, 1992, 1993 & 1995. Each Superbowl time capsule is broken down into 2 segments. The first is an overview of the entire season from a fan's perspective. There is a discussion of the trends of the league, the rising stars, teams on their way up & the teams that thought they were contenders only to find out they were actually pretenders.

The second segment covers the Superbowl itself & reveals all of the overriding factors which led the Cowboys to victory. Whether it be the Dallas running game which powered the '71 Cowboys or the relentless defense of the '77 & '92 teams, all relevant aspects of the games are discussed. Not surprisingly, the sound, picture and production value of the time capsules get much improved when we get to the '92 season.

The special features on Disc #1 have bit pieces on Duane Thomas, Bob Lilly, Roger Staubach & the two venerable Dallas safeties, Cliff "crash" Harris and Charlie Waters. On Disc #2 the special features cover Jimmy Johnson, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith & Larry Brown.

The promo for this DVD is a bit mis-leading as it says "NFL Super Bowl Collection - Dallas Cowboys by Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith." In fact, the only time we hear from Aikman is during the bit pieces on Irvin & Smith, and the only time we hear from Smith is during his own biographical piece. So, those who believe these 2 will be the hosts of the dual DVDs are apt to be disappointed.

Also, of the personas covered, Larry Brown is a big-time reach. Granted, the Cowboy faithful are thankful for his performance during Super Bowl XXX. However, he was otherwise a marginal player @ best. After that year, the Raiders signed him to a contract that was silly-big & his career promptly fizzled out. There are a great many bigger names in the Cowboy pantheon whom they could have done a bio on instead of Brown (Tom Landry, Tony Dorsett & Troy Aikman, to name a few!). Oh, well. At LEAST they didn't do a bio on Jerry Jones. It's his arrogance, ineptitude & meddling that have impeded the franchise ever since he drove Jimmy out of town!

If you are a Cowboys fan, then this DVD set belongs in your collection. If you're not a Cowboys fan, then you're most likely not reading this review in the 1st place. Hence, IF you've read all of what I have to say, then most likely you will enjoy having this DVD! NFL historian Steve Sabol has put together a great many works from the NFL archives. This one can be added to the list of his accomplishments.

Bought this for my husband, the avid Cowboy fan and would recommend for all Cowboy fans

I was so young when I saw the boys in the 90's superbowls and I wanted to go back and watch the games over gain. This set was perfect for that and it really does a nice job of laying out the season and the game highlights. It is really cool to see the images that I vaguely remember from my youth. How bout them Cowboys?! Emmitt Smith is still the man

I bought this for my dad who is the biggest cowboys fan right after me. He jumped up when. He opened the wrapping.

I bought this item as a gift for someone else and they loved it. If you are a Cowboy fan you will enjoy this item.
