Product Description

Welcome to the ultimate collection of the strange, the wild and the wacky—Bloopers, Blunders & Bailouts from Warren Miller Entertainment. Available on DVD for the first time ever, this is a classic set of two of the greatest compilations of side-splitting winter weirdness.

In The Best of Winter Bloopers, Vol. 3, you’ll see inner-tubing, cardboard downhills, snowshoe races, dummy races, pond jumps, dirt skiing, chairlift and rope tow blunders, not to mention some of the most outrageous ski and snowboard crashes ever caught on film. The entire collection is narrated by the Master of Winter Comedy himself, Warren Miller.

Skiing Bloopers II will show you why Warren Miller has rightfully been called the "King of Skiing Comedy." You’ll see it all, from altitude-weary beginners to Zudnik, the half-wolf, half-husky who gets a speeding ticket in Crested Butte. It’s the cream of the comedy crop: crashes, klutzes and collisions as only Warren Miller Entertainment can deliver.

Warren Miller's Bloopers, Blunders and Bailouts is a slapstick compilation of earlier Miller programs celebrating extreme klutziness and silliness in sundry winter wonderlands. Miller plays droll host for a feast of archival footage revealing the human body's capacity to bounce and bounce (and bounce) down endless ski runs after a loss of footing. The question of how many rocks and trees a man can hit before he's broken is never quite resolved, but less agonizing comedy can be found in ordinary mishaps on rope tows and first-time skier panic on gentle bunny runs. Then there's the human impulse to attempt the truly stupid, such as skiing down steep hills of weeds and riding bikes down ski trails. Novel activities include skiing with dogs, skiing in bikinis (both genders), and skiing on furniture. If the measure of a man is whether he can rappel down a steep hill in skis, well, heroes await within. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
They're all here! Some of the best and most entertaining non-skiers, non-boarders, non-smart individuals you'll ever see. I picked this up to watch in the apartment and the bar during the ski trips. Perfect for both venues. Although we'll be skiing Europe and many of the people in the bar won't understand the narration, it really doesn't matter. It's the agony of defeat that comes across best in these videos. Thrills and spills a-plenty.
The only reason I didn't give this five stars is that much of the material in Skiing Bloopers comes from Winter Bloopers 3. And what doesn't come from Winter Bloopers 3 really isn't that hysterical, except for the sumo skiers. Yep, you read that right!
But this entire disk isn't made for deep thought, so pick it up and enjoy it for the entertainment value. You'll get more than your money's worth of laughs.

Some great Bloopers Blunders and Bailouts
I'm a Canadian, my husbands Australian, and we live in Australia with our 3 kids. I bought this DVD for my husband @ Christmas 2004 and the kids watched it with us. They now talk about it all the time, spcially the Australian sections! We all agree that you have to be a skier, or have done some sort of outdoor winter activity to appreciate the humor.
We love Warren Miller's sense of humor mixed with his dry American accent...it had us in stitches! The kids do a great job imitating his voice and have us laughing every time!
Very funny, a must see DVD!

good deal
This is a wonderful addition to any Warren Miller collection.
Even if you aren't a skier, you will be entertained and amazed.
