Movie Reviews of Pride 34: Kamakazi
Movie Review: Decent Event - The Mistakes Continue Again!
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again, we have a new PRIDE FC DVD released with numerous errors that should have been caught in the early stages of production. Check my review of PRIDE FC Shockwave 2006 to see those errors. Many of the same errors have happened once again as well as ones that are even worse.
The PRIDE 34 show itself is entertaining, but not one of the best ones out there. I wouldn't recommend the event to casual MMA fans, and would only expect hardcore MMA or PRIDE FC fans to pick this one up.
Now we come to the mistakes:
1. Once again, instead of just putting all 8 fights together, they put two of them away in the "Special Features" section of the DVD. It's not that big of a deal, but it's still a whole lot nicer to hit "Play Event" and watch all the fights instead of 6 of them. I still just don't understand the reason to remove matches to a different part of the DVD. They also list one of the two matches put in the "Special Features" on the Fightcard lineup on the back cover and insert. Why is one listed, but not the other?
2. They have miss-spelled TWO fighter's names this time. The first one is very obvious, and is on the back cover as well as the insert. Edson Drago has his name spelled correctly in the Fightcard lineup, but they miss-spell it as "Draggo" in the Special Features. I also believe they miss-spelled it the same way when playing the DVD. The second fighter to have his name miss-spelled is Zelg Galesic. They replace the "L" in his first name with an "I" on the back cover and the insert. It isn't very obvious as some L's can look like I's. His name is correct on the DVD.
3. Why are they listing a match that isn't on the card? Wagner De Conciecao Martins Vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura are listed on the back cover and insert, yet that fight was never on PRIDE 34. In fact, that fight has never happened. Wagner De Conciecao Martins is also known as Zuluzinho which is usually shortened to Zulu. Zulu faced Butterbean who's real name is Eric Esch. Zakuhiro Nakamura isn't on the card and doesn't go by any other names, so why is he listed as facing Zulu? Butterbean Vs. Zuluzinho is listed under the "Special Features" so why couldn't they get that correct on the Fightcard lineup?
NOTE: Kazuhiro Nakamura is also listed as an actor in Amazon's product listing for this item.
4. The insert seems to be where most of the mistakes occur. Most have been mentioned previously. This is where two of the most blatant errors occur. The first is a complete line of text. It's easier to just type it up as it appears.
"This is Shockwave 2006! Featuring top-rated fighters fedor emelianenko, Takanori Gomi, mauricio 'shogun' rua and the highly-anticipated rematch between josh barnett and antonio rodrigo nogueira."
Yes, you read that right! This is not Shockwave 2006, and none of those fighters are even on PRIDE 34. Did you noticed that the names are not capitalized?
5. The second blatant error on the insert is that they list a PRIDE Heavyweight Championship Bout between the champion, Kazuyuki Fujita and the challenger, Jeff Monson. Granted, these two men did fight in the main event, but it was not a PRIDE Heavyweight Championship bout and Kazuyuki Fujita is not the champion.
The big question is who is editing these DVDs? Seriously?! How can there be so many mistakes? I almost feel like these are intentionally done because mistakes like these don't happen twice. I can only hope that the release of PRIDE 33 in July will not have these mistakes as well, but the third time's a charm, right?
At least the event itself, the most important part of the DVD, is intact. That is why people will choose to buy this DVD, with or without the mistakes.
