Movie Reviews of The Best of Deathmatch Wrestling, Vol. 3: The Legendary Japanese Tournament
Movie Review: Little bit deceiving !!!
Summary: 3 Stars
As I was owning the previous one disc edition, in which only the tournament matches are shown in their entirety, I bought this 2 discs edition who claims to present, for the first time on an official release, the complete event...I mean, the jacket sleeve is even insisting on the non tournament matches, all of this making 2 hours of previously unseen footage....This ain't true !!! The first disc is just the one disc edition, still with the same edited matches but with a better picture quality and a slightly better soundtrack (and, oh yes, those dubbed chainsaw sounds in the "Terry Funk Vs. Leatherface" match are laughable...
The second DVD is indeed a re-release of an old XPW videotape titled "Best Of Deathmatches"....Yes, you buy an IWA dvd, and you get XPW matches (about which no mention is even made on the jacket sleeve !!!)
Well, I never been a fan of XPW, but the matches included here are cool, I have to admit it.
To get back to the 1995 IWA King Of The Deathmatch event (aka :"Kawasaki Dream"), well, it's an historical event, but it's not the most violent and extreme wrestling event I've ever seen....I own Atsushi Onita's FMW videotapes from the early 90's (before 1995) who are by far more extreme and violent....And I also own other events from the IWA which are so much better. Concerning the event, some people say that a full release of the event could not be possible since it never existed as the non tournament matches have not been filmed in their enterity on the master tape...While some other people claim that a true full version of the event, spanned on two discs is circulating among fans circles, but I never seen one to this day....Does someone have a clue ?
I think the 1995 edition of King Of The Deathmatch became so famous and legendary because it was actually the first time such an event was taking place in front of a so large crowd and since stars like Cactus Jack and Terry Funk were taking part, but the matches are not so good, many moves are botched, you see the wrestlers constantly calling for spots, most matches in the tournament are extremely short...In fact, this very first edition of the Tournament is like the very first WWE WrestleMania ; it became a legendary event, but is far to be the best ever put by the WWE !
Well, in the end, you get 4 hours of good to very good wrestling action (thanx to the XPW matches) for less than 20 bucks...But if you already have the one disc edition from 2005, think twice about considering buying this re-release.
And quite frankly, the 1995 IWA King Of The Deathmatch has to be owned by any true wrestling fan !
