Top Gear At The Movie

I found quite a few at HMV...one was in Bath (which probably doesn't help too much) and the other was in Westfield Mall in London. And I just placed an order from Amazon.uk that arrived in Canada in just over a week. Not bad, espeically for this time of the year.

HMV it is then. I've been considering going to the new Westfield Mall, but thinking maybe I shouldn't spend precious vacation time doing something I could do at home, but maybe this will be worth it. I do like to have a bit of a quest to go on when I'm there. :)
 
Guys, if I were you I'd watch it before spending the money, unless you're total fanbois/gurlz and simply have to own everything TG related.

Perhaps you might have a friend ;);) with a copy who might loan ;);) it to you for preview purposes.
 
OK, so I couldn't wait any longer and poppd it in to watch last night. Anyone thinking of buying it should heed what MWF says. Honestly, I fell asleep.

It sort of seemed to me it was a Hammond DVD with guest appearances by May.

I just have no words for it. It was the first thing that has disappointed me TG related.

The idea seemed good, but something went horribly wrong.

I watched it again to be sure this morning because I fell asleep, and I am now sure. I doubt I will ever watch it again.

I feel cheated.

Hammond and May, you owe me a good DVD.

That's why you form your own production company in the first place

That was more enjoyable than the DVD. Thanks for posting.

It even gave me an idea for the DVD I feel they owe me. (Listening to them talk about it was better than actually watching it, but I did like watching the invisible car idea.) They should go down to the pub, have a pint, play some darts, have a fight maybe, and just talk about cars/cars in movies/TV/whatever.

I got Apocalypse last year for Christmas. I really liked it. Every time I have to drive thru thick fog, which has been often lately, I think about it because that was my favorite part.
 
The invisible car was quite enjoyable, but the rest of it was rather lamentable. It's a pity they can't ditch these second rate efforts and put the energy towards making more decent Top Gear episodes.
 
Easily the worst DVD i think i've ever seen, EVER!! I've never really bad mouthed or criticise much of their work as i tend to love it all, BUT THIS!!! OH LAWD!!!
 
At the risk of the potential comments, I'd just like to say that I didn't hate the DVD. Not my favourite TG related DVD, but I didn't hate it, either.

And I'd probably enjoy Skylock's idea too.
 
I thought the first segment, Skoda vs Jetman, was very well done - TGUK episode quality.

Flying Finn rally champion Toni Gardemeister waving at camera while racing: Hello!
Hammond screaming: Just concentrate!
Gardemeister cheerfully: OK!

And just like in the movies, their nice clean 2000/2001 Range Rover 2.5 DHSE that apparently cost "?2,800" was stunt-doubled by a 1997 Range Rover 4.0 SE.
