DVD Reviews of The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid: The Sequel to "Faster" (Ultimate Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Great sequel to FASTER DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like motorcyling, are a racing fan, or both, this is a great video. If you are a MotoGP fan, you should go and get FASTER, first, then this one. It's alot to watch, but it's really interesting to get a bit of 500 GP history along with the transition to the MotoGP bikes. This video is a great story about an American making it in a foreigner dominated sport, and winning his first MotoGP race, on his home track. DVD Review: Hated it
Summary: 2 Stars
I love motogp, but when i watched this, i found it very slighted and biased toward American racer Nicky Haden. who cares, just because he won once. it says "the doctor, the tornado and the kentucky kid" not just the kentucky kid, which was all this film was about.
lame.
DVD Review: great doc - bad title
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really well made doc on a single motogp race weekend. The problem is in the title of the movie. The title shoud've been "Hopper, the tornado and the kentucky kid". Doesn't really have the same ring I guess. John Hopkins is featured more than almost any other racer in the film, and rightfully so. He's a good solid racer. But I was mislead by the title into thinking Rossi would be featured more. Nonetheless, this is a really entertaining and informative film on motogp. The bonus disc is really good too.Really good interviews. The on board camera on Rossi's M1 is great! But I think that's for the more serious of race fans. If you are just becoming interested in motogp, buy this DVD! DVD Review: Not too good, not too bad.
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this DVD before it came out from the main site, and not that I regret doing so; it just wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. The American riders need better promotion, marketing and advertising. They are good at what they do and all they need is a better way to highlight their talents. It was a bit boring, comparing to other DVD's of the sport.DVD Review: Liked it
Summary: 4 Stars
I like it, however, there is not enough about The Doctor in it to justify that being the title of the movie.
Description of The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid: The Sequel to "Faster" (Ultimate Collector's Edition)
2 Disc Set - THE DOCTOR, THE TORNADO & THE KENTUCKY KID is the electrifying follow-up to Mark Neale?s 2004 MotoGP smash hit FASTER. Narrated by Ewan McGregor, the movie tells the story of the biggest motorcycle race in American history, the 2005 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca, California. It?s a tale of extraordinary characters chasing a dream in the face of real danger, under unimaginable pressure, with no margin for error. For lovers of maximum adrenaline action, this is the pure, unadulterated, 100% genuine article. 104-Minute Director?s Cut; Mastered in High Definition Widescreen with 5.1 Surround Sound; 11 Additional Scenes including the MotoGP stars burning up Hollywood and highlights of the 2006 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix; Interactive Racing - Ride with Rossi, Hayden, Edwards and Hopkins during the hottest laps of the race and switch between onboard cameras; English, Spanish, and French SubtitlesThe Doctor, the Tornado & the Kentucky Kid is another motorcycle-racing feast served up by Mark Neale, the director of Faster. Where the earlier film focused on an entire season of MotoGP racing, DTK limits its coverage to the Red Bull Grand Prix at Laguna Seca, California, held over the weekend of July 8-10, 2005. This was the seventh and most hotly anticipated race of the '05 season, not only because Laguna Seca is one of MotoGP's most technically demanding and physically intimidating race courses, but also because it was the first MotoGP race held on American soil since 1994 (evidence of the sport's European emphasis and the efforts of corporate sponsors like Red Bull to popularize MotoGP in the U.S.). Like Faster, this film and its DVD bonus features are aimed squarely at established fans of MotoGP, but potential converts will find plenty to enjoy in Neale's comprehensive coverage of the 32-lap race. And, as any fan can tell you, the title refers to the nicknames of the riders who were key figures on that sunny afternoon: American Nicky "The Kentucky Kid" Hayden on his lightning-fast #69 Repsol Honda; American Colin "The Texas Tornado" Edwards on his #5 Camel Yamaha; and the Italian reigning champion, Valentino Rossi (Edwards' teammate), on his #46 Camel Yamaha.
American challenger John "Hopper" Hopkins is also prominently featured on his #21 Rizia Suzuki, but DTK doesn't flinch from the harsher aspects of a motorsport where success is never guaranteed. Thanks to the film's all-angle coverage of on-track rivalries, it's clear that Edwards and Rossi were the race's undeniable highlight, battling ferociously in the final laps while Hayden was in the lead. With celebrities in the crowd (including cycle fans Brad Pitt and Adrien Brody) and racing enthusiast Ewan McGregor once again providing dramatic narration, Neale's film suffers from occasional lapses in hi-def image quality (owing in part to video-feed static and the unavoidably harsh contrasts of sunny weather), but interviews and voice-overs from the riders keep things interesting from start to finish, along with a throttle-roaring 5.1 Surround soundtrack (with pulsing techno music by TomandAndy) that's the next best thing to being there. The Ultimate Collector's Edition has 11 additional scenes on disc 1 (including longer interviews and highlights from the 2006 Red Bull U.S. GP), and disc 2 consists entirely of "Interactive Racing" clips, allowing viewers to watch three climactic segments of the 2005 race from multiple angles. Switching between several onboard cameras is the closest that most of us will ever get to the sheer thrill of MotoGP, and that makes DTK a must-have DVD for race fans around the world. --Jeff Shannon
