For some fans of MTV's groundbreaking docudrama series, the highlights of the show are when the ordinary twentysomethings in the cast, as the introduction says, stop being polite--and start being real. Real nasty, that is. This is the tape for the Real World watchers who cheered when Pedro and Puck mixed it up in San Francisco, or looked on in shock as Stephen slapped Irene in Seattle. Nathan of the Seattle cast and Kaneelah from Boston eagerly host these classic fights, as well as a hysterical shouting match between Melissa and Dan in Miami Beach and the historic blanket-pulling incident that got David ejected from the Los Angeles show. Unedited, uncensored fight footage is intercut with new interviews and a running commentary by cast members involved in each conflict. This, along with the split-screen presentation whenever the action heats up, gives each of the tussles a definite sporting air. Unsurprisingly, some fighters (like Dan, interviewed poolside with Flora) seem embarrassed by their past disagreements, some (like Seattle's Stephen) seem more eager just to "set the record straight," and some (like L.A.'s David and Beth) prove more than willing to open old wounds and carry the fight on into the present day. But among the childish displays of bile, outrage, and creative cussing (no bleep-outs here, folks) there are a few surprisingly uplifting moments--particularly when San Francisco's Judd Winick tours his old house and shares memories of his roommate and friend (and impulsive Puck's great nemesis), the late AIDS activist Pedro Zamora. --Grant Balfour

1.0 out of 5 stars not impressed..., January 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Real World - Greatest Fights [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I consider myself a pretty big fan of the Real World, but I wasn't impressed with this video. I thought that it would have a variety of clips from the different seasons and feature a variety of cast members. Instead the producers decided to go really indepth into four particular fights. The most entertaining fight featured on the video was Dan and Melissa's Real World Miami fight because when they had Dan watch the video with Nathan and Flora he made comments like "Oh - look at me. I was such a drama queen." But the other "fights" like Irene and Stephen's battle in Seattle and Tami and David's LA blanket incident had already been re-hashed so many times on the show that I just didn't care about hearing them talk about it AGAIN.

My recommendation - save your money and just watch re-runs of the show on MTV instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this tape!!!I wish they'd release more like it!!, March 27, 2008

By	TV-On-DVD Fanatic "Realty TV Fanatic" (Austin,TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Real World - Greatest Fights [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I know that Sony doesn't make new copies of this tape.I don't even know if a DVD was released for it.I highly recommend it has the four biggest fights of the first 7 seasons uncut and 100% uncensored.The Beth/Tami/David Los Angeles fight was the longest.It runs for about 17 minutes sometimes with 2 cameras showing on the screen to show what everyone was doing.

Stephen/Irene(The slap heard around the world,Seattle):An infamous slap towards slap is exchanged between a mail cast member and female cast member

Dan/Melissa(Miami):A nasty expletive-filled yelling match between 2 Miami Cast members

Beth/Tami/David(Los Angeles):The infamous blanket pull argument uncut and uncensored

Puck/Pedro(San Francisco):The argument between Puck And pedro that sent Puck Packing

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical!, July 3, 2001

By A Customer

Watching the Real World fights is just pure comedy and great entertainment! It's a mix of an average Jerry Springer Show and the Real World clashed together! What's not to love?
