DVD Reviews of The Endless Summer Revisited

DVD Review: Almost perfect; veryyyyy good with little or no defects. Way to go Brown's!
Summary: 4 Stars

Once again, like in past decades, Mr Brown
and now with his son, remake the classic
even better! More of a compliation but also
more complete! Pick Up On It!

DVD Review: Having surfed with Bruce at the ranch, I expect the best from him .Revisited was fun and Bruce showing how it was put tgther
Summary: 5 Stars

Having been in the same group of surfers as Bruce, surfing the Ranch at the same times (I was the young kid that asked a million questions and borrowed wax that never got returned) I couldn't wait to see how he had set so many shots up for TES. I had a great talk with Robert August about an article I was going to do on Tahiti for Surfer. Great guy.. The"Revisited" version was that much more interesting.. Great laughs!!
Its a keeper for us that can bring back memories from those great uncrowded days..
It is worth every penny..

DVD Review: Incomplete (where is Hynson?) and not much new material
Summary: 2 Stars

Quick review: Dana Brown opens this documentary by describing it as (paraphrased) "another chance to rip off the public," and he's somewhat right. "The Endless Summer Revisited" is mostly a series of interviews of the original filmmakers, promoters, and one of the stars of "The Endless Summer" and it doesn't reveal a whole lot that wasn't covered during the Surfer's Journal series on surf movies. I can't recommend buying this, but it might be worth a rental if you can find a copy.

More details: "The Endless Summer Revisited" tells the story of the filming and distribution of the original "Endless Summer" as well as a little bit about its sequel. It runs chronologically, startingwith some early footage of Bruce Brown as a surfer and then progressing forward. Interviews shot on video are mostly of Bruce Brown, Dana Brown, and Robert August, with appearances by Greg Noll, Steve Pezman, Dale Velzy, Hobie Alter, Nat Young, Wingnut, Pat O'Connell, and some other old guys whose names I don't recall.

I got a few chuckles from Noll taking digs at Brown whenever he could get a chance, and there was some interesting grainy footage here and there from the original film that I hadn't seen before. They show a little bit of from-shore shots of the filming of the water camera footage, and Brown tells the real story of how Cape St. Francis was discovered by Mike Hynson. Hynson, by the way, is not interviewed at all for this film. The lack of his perspective is a major gap. The film winds up with details that I hadn't heard before of how they found a distributor for "The Endless Summer," including taking the film to Kansas during a snowstorm to prove that it could be shown to a wider audience. By the time they get to the sequel, the makers of "Endless Summer Revisited" have run out of gas, and don't have much to say other than "it's the same thing only better." There's not much additional footage at all from that film, which is disappointing since they must have a lot of it in the can.

Summary: Don't buy it, rent it if you're interested in surf media history.


DVD Review: Don't waste your time on Revisited
Summary: 1 Stars

Endless Summer Revisited is not worth the time you spend watching it, not to mention your wasted money buying/renting it. Instead, try Endless Summer II: you'll watch it several times and enjoy it each time.

DVD Review: It Got Better
Summary: 5 Stars

I had seen "The Endless Summer" (TES) and was fully expecting "The Endless Summer Revisited" (TESR) not to live up to it, if only for the fact that it was not a follow up to the original TES or "The Endless Summer II" (TES2). This was more of a documentary of how they made TES, TES2 and some other surfing during that timeframe. When it started, I was fully prepared for 2 stars. However, many of the interviews led me to 3 stars. Some of the new surfing footage led me to 4 stars. Then, with footage from TES2 (which is not available on DVD yet), I had to go with 5 stars. It is not the same as TES, so if you expect that, it will be disappointed. But, if you want to know more of the surfer life, then TESR is worth it. I especially liked them pointing out that it is NOT like "Beach Blanket Bingo" or other silly movies where they just throw sex into the mix. Sure, hormones are prevalent, especially when young, but that goes out the window when riding waves. I was glad that they pointed that out and that they followed it in the films.

Description of The Endless Summer Revisited

A beach... A board... A man and a camera. In 1966 young filmmaker Bruce Brown captured the essence of surfing as never before in "The Endless Summer." Now Bruce Brown and filmmaker son Dana have created an all new classic featuring never-before-seen footage from "The Endless Summer." Embark on a journey of adventure discovery and the incredible challenge of facing a fifteen foot wall of water as the sport's greatest surfers look back on the thrills the spills and the movie that uniquely embraced the lifelong search for that shining beach that glowing sunset that perfect wave.System Requirements:Starring "Hobie" Alter "Ironman" Doyle "Krab" Dorsey Bruce Brown Dana Brown Robert August Directed by Bruce Brown Dana Brown Running time: 70 minutes Copyright Monterey 2003Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
