DVD Reviews of NFL America's Game - The Super Bowl Champions - San Francisco 49ers Collection
DVD Review: A fantastic buy for NFL fans
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've never seen any of the America's Game episodes then you are missing out. This is by far a very different NFL films product - much less of the frustrating super slow motion footage and more about the actual games themselves.
This particular product is a must-have for any 49ers fan. The 1981 DVD in particular is outstanding, but all 5 DVDs are of very high quality. One of the unique aspects of this set of DVDs is how they each compliment each other, and basically recap the franchise between the years 1979-1994. For example, the 1984 DVD picks up where the 1981 DVD left off, and talks about how the 49ers didn't make the playoffs in 1982 and lost in the NFC Championship game in '83.
The DVD also faithfully re-caps the Quarterback controversy of 1988, which brings me to the only bad thing I can say about this collection; the absence of Joe Montana. NFL films uses enough stock footage of previous Montana interviews to keep fans satisfied, but much like the fantastic Dennis Georgatos book Game Of My Life, Montana's absence is the only noticeable flaw, but a glaring one at that.
Is this enough to recommend against purchase? Of course not!! Even die-hard 49er (and NFL) fans will be reminded of some awesome highs and a few of the lows which they may have forgotten about.
My final example illustrates the in-depth nature of the DVDs: during the 1984 season San Fransisco went 18-1. Their one loss during the season? Week 7 against the Steelers. At the end of the game Pittsburgh was driving for the win, but San Fransisco was able to stop them on downs at the goaline, but on the 4th down play, Ronnie Lott was called for a penalty which, although later shown to be a bad call, gave Pittsburgh a fresh set of downs and helped them win the game. The DVD includes all of this footage, from the actual broadcast, but it doesn't unnecessarily dwell on mundane details. My point is that each DVD is packed with information, but they keep up a good pace to keep the audience entertained.
Description of NFL America's Game - The Super Bowl Champions - San Francisco 49ers Collection
Three teams have won 5 Super Bowls. The San Francisco 49ers were the first to do it. In 1981, just 2 years after finishing with a 2 and 14 record, Head Bill Walsh's "West Coast Offense" fueled the 49ers victory over the Bengals in Super Bowl XVI. By 1984, the 49ers were a dominant team, becoming the first team ever to win 15 games in the regular season. They finished the seaon by defeating the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XIX. Four years later, Joe Montana led San Francisco on a desperate 92 yard drive, tossing the winning touchdown pass to John Taylor with 34 seconds left in Super Bowl XXIII. In 1989, Walsh retired from coaching, replaced by George Seifert and the 49ers never missed a beat. San Francisco won 14 games plus two playoff victories that year and scored a record 55 points in the 49ers complete dismantling of the Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV. In 1994, the 49ers won their 5th Super Bowl, this time behind Quarterback Steve Young. Young, who had lived in Joe Montana's shadow, burst into the spotlight and tossed a record six touchdown passes as San Francisco defeated San Diego 49-26 in Super Bowl XXIX. The story of San Francisco's 1981 season is told by Wide Receiver Dwight Clark, Offensive Lineman, Randy Cross and Hall of Fame Defensive Back, Ronnie Lott. 1984 is relived through the remembrances of Tight End Russ Francis, Linebacker Keena Turner and Defensive Back Dwight Hicks. Hall of Fame Head Coach, Bill Walsh, Offensive Tackle Harris Barton and Running Back Roger Craig recount the 49ers season of 1988. George Seifert, Fullback Tom Rathman and future Hall of Fame Receiver, Jerry Rice reminisce about the 1989 season. And Hall of Fame Quarterback, Steve Young, Defensive Back Merton Hanks and Tight End Brent Jones tell viewers what it was like to be a member of the first 5-time Super Bowl winners.Bestsellers in DVD
