Warren Miller's Bloopers, Blunders and Bailouts
L**S
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
They're all here! Some of the best and most entertaining non-skiers, non-boarders, non-smart individuals you'll ever see. I picked this up to watch in the apartment and the bar during the ski trips. Perfect for both venues. Although we'll be skiing Europe and many of the people in the bar won't understand the narration, it really doesn't matter. It's the agony of defeat that comes across best in these videos. Thrills and spills a-plenty.The only reason I didn't give this five stars is that much of the material in Skiing Bloopers comes from Winter Bloopers 3. And what doesn't come from Winter Bloopers 3 really isn't that hysterical, except for the sumo skiers. Yep, you read that right!But this entire disk isn't made for deep thought, so pick it up and enjoy it for the entertainment value. You'll get more than your money's worth of laughs.

Dated
I used to love Warren Miller's movies. I grew in a ski town and they were on every video stores shelf. However there are so many well-done, blooper shows out there now that are more refined. I bought this to introduce WM to my kids (ages 6-10), whom I am just getting into skiing. Problems: 1.) They rarely laughed 2.)There were some inappropriate moments (2nd scene has bikini races, "Family that skis...B1t@hes at each other") and 3.) the two films share a lot of material so watched back to back is a little boring. Sorry Warren, but I think my next ski-film $ will be going to Greg S... I was hoping to show the kids somthing to get them excited about skiing the next day and I think all I did was remind them how old I am.

One of the best from the best name in ski films.
Classic Warren Miller does not get any better than this. Unlike the new breed of skiporn, this film has style, character, and is all set to the dry humor that Warren Miller is famous for. Anyone who survived the 80s & early 90s ski industry will most likely have plenty of flashbacks of happier times on the slopes if they watch this.

Too wordy and not enough funny.
There was WAY too much talking. The great part of Warren Miller is the talking parts combined with humor and awesome skiing. I bought this to show at a ski party but ended up not showing it because it wasn't good enough.

Ski by this...Buy the Box Set and Save Time and Money
Thought this would include more (and better) material from the Warren Miller films. Disappointed 90% of these thrills and spills were in the past movies and repeated in the box set I also bought. Even within this DVD it repeats the falls and skating on ice and chairlift pileups despite being split into two parts. Where's the continuation footage of those fantastic jumps and you can see the skier's head between their ankles and the clip ends? If you buy the box set, leave this one on the shelf. It's a pooper!

The old Warren Miller
This is Warren in his earlier years, when filming was done on film. The feature is a little rough and there are repeats, but Warren always makes it intertaining.

humorful warren miller flick
I would venture to say it's a must have! Warren Miller classics: entertaining, good music and great bloopers. It's a natural ski cabin movie for the entire group to enjoy!!
