scot'teryx Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 DVD Action/Adventure"Take it to the Limit"Circa 2000New Concorde Home Video 2 http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=1185560&cart=112918499&style=movie Has anyoe punished themselves by actually watching the whole thing? This by far was the worst movie I have ever seen, they even put on harnesses with chalk bags and scrambled up a class 3 route, never using a rope! Why put on the harness? The wall they practiced on had holes to put your hands in! Arrghh!It sucked! [ 11-14-2001: Message edited by: scot'teryx ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 At that price I'll take 3! Is there some porn in it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus_Engley Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Scott... If you like that one, you should check out "White Wolves: A Cry In The Wild II"... Picked it up for 99 cents, and that's about what it's worth. It's entertaining, at the very least, and the climbing scenes (and much of the hiking/extreme canyon crossing) is done in the Smith/Mt. Hood area. Baaad... m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_w Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I keep seeing it at Hollywood Video, but for some reason I never rent it. I read the back of the box, determine it will suck, and then rent something good, like Highlander 2 . I never heard of anyone watching it. I might rent it sometime to get a laugh.

hikerwa Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I think that we all know the Vertical Limit was the most accurately protrayed climbing movie ever. I can't wait for the sequel, maybe they will document the "real" way that Everest is climbed... get dropped off at basecamp at 3 in the afternoon, scramble up to the top and be back before suppertime! Ahhh the great sport of mountaineering...... :moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 that is only the "real" way if you are a slovenian!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Vertical Limit was the shit... "There's rock, ice AND snow up there....were gonna need special equipment!" Or was it just shit? I still have the image of the opening scene stuck in my head though, chink chink chink slice THUD! miker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 That opening scene was all of it that I saw (walked in after seeing another movie for a few). I was sitting there going "Now goddammit, I've got to know where this was filmed...I live in the land of Wingate, surely I'll see something that I'll recognize to tip off the locale". Then later I found out it was mocked-up on a fake wall on a soundstage or something. I sure hope my #3 Metolius never starts creaking and twisting and disentgrating and shit while I'm on it. I wonder what they paid Metolius to be able to use that? Usually it's the other way around, products pay the movie for placement, but after the BD lawsuit over the buckle in that Stallone film surely the table is turned in this case?

Dru Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 Thing I learned from that movie - Metolius cams suck when you need to make a long reach to place them and get an anchor when you are dangling from one shitty point of contact. Hugh Banner quadcams, on the other hand, work perfectly for the same type of reach. If I was Metolius I would suspect HB paid more dough for product placement.

Cpt.Caveman Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 I like Metolius and will keep buying them. The only thing I learned was that I need to get super wasted to watch climbing hollywood flicks unless there is some skin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Parker Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Seems to me we had the start of a film script going that involved some skin. Whatever happened to "THE STORY" anyway!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_J Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Skin...hell I saw skin on the sides of an off width last weekend and blood up higher on the route. for once it was not mine...But is was the CAVEMAN'S. I fucking chickened out and went for the face climb at the prospect of leaving skin and blood on the Off Width. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
