DVD Reviews of 45 Fantastic Fights Of The Century
DVD Review: Production Value Packs No Punch
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a haphazardly compiled collection of badly-rendered fight footage. There are some fights included that really aren't fights of the century in any sense, such as washed-up ex-champ Max Baer beating the tar out of mid-range contender Tony Galento. The fights are presented in no particular order, as we lurch from the 20s, forward to the 30s, up to the 50s, back to the 10s, and then back to the 30s again. The transfers of the fight films are far too poor to blame on their simply being old. You can find better picture quality for most of these fights on YouTube. For most fights, there is only sparse newsreel-style commentary that, coupled with the poor picture, makes it hard to figure out which fighter is which, and few of the fights are placed in context in any way, shape, or form (especially with the lack of chronological logic). It doesn't really make sense to hear an announcer tell us that Joe Louis' only loss to this point was to Max Schmeling, and then see that very match two fights later.
The most inexplicable mistake of the entire enterprise, however, was the fact that at least two of the fights were repeated for absolutely no reason: Dempsey-Tunney II and (if I remember correctly) a Luis Firpo fight. Add to all of this the fact that the title cards are filled with careless misspellings ("Loe Louis" and "Primo Carnero" are examples) and it becomes clear that the production company was trying to rush a haphazard product onto the market, and make a quick buck off of fight fans buying it blind. Don't make that mistake. This is garbage.
