| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com In creating MTV's contribution to the decline of Western civilization, perverse clay-animation wizard Eric Fogel took the same technique used in lovable children's specials and molded it into a twisted, bloody spectacle combining the best elements of professional wrestling, celebrity gossip shows, and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. It's no surprise his hysterical result became popular enough to spawn its own series of home video highlights. This clay-per-view special has legendary referee Mills Lane, tuxedo-clad announcers Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond, and brassy interviewer Stacey Cornbred presenting as much muscle and mayhem as the rich and famous can deliver. Eerily detailed clay contestants include "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Cindy Crawford, Janeane Garofalo, and comedian Chris Rock, who attempts to feed Adam Sandler into a giant razor-sharp fan. On the minus side, the editing is fast and furious--at 45 minutes, the collection winds down just before it wears you out. The humor tends to be topical and relies on the same meat-rending joke played out in countless different ways: annoying celebrities-of-the-moment get all the agony they deserve. On the plus side, this one joke can be pretty darn funny. When snarling songbird Celine Dion starts yanking out punk rocker Keith Flint's body-piercings, you don't really need to know a thing about the players that isn't mentioned in the nonstop color commentary. Despite your higher instincts, you just start laughing... after all, as they say, it's just clay. --Grant Balfour

I Excepted More From This New Celebirty Deathmatch July 10, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I really really wanted more from the new version of celebrity deathmatch most of the fights are not so original,most of those actors appared in the old celebrity deahtmatch like Ben Stiller,Adam Sanlder,Chris Rock,Bruce Willis,Robert De Niro,James Gandolfini, Shaq, Kobe,Charlie Sheen,etc.their supposed appared in the old version and the animation change a lot, Jhonny supposed to has black hair and Nick voice sounds very extrange, but not all the new episodes are bad i like the Ashton Kutcher vs. Bruce Willis and Adam Sandler vs Ben Stiller fights in my opinion are the best fights of the new episodes and i'm waiting the with new episodes the show gets better, i can't wait to see the fights between Jack Black vs Jack White(i hope Jack Black wins)and The Rock vs Chris Rock i also hope mtv realese the celebrity deathmatch seasons on DVD(by the way Reese Witherspoon never had to lose versus Jennifer Love Hewwit i want a rematch and this time Reese better has to win).
Rather see a Season Released June 27, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Back in 1998 MTV was begining to forge into the annoying pop culture network we know today but, perhaps one of the bests things they did was air Celebrity Deathmatch. The series is basily celebrities fighting to the death. It was also a great way to poke fun at organized wrestling and how pathetic some celebritys were. The winner was usually who was more popular at the time of the fight. Although it was a great hit the series stoped airing and no original episodes were released for some time. As MTV changed their sequel network MTV 2 would air past episodes of the comedy classic. This DVD consists of some of the classics fights from old deathmatch how is it read on and find out.
This DVD is really horrible it clocks in at under an hour and you barly get to see any good stuff, it is really a waste of money. See in reality Don't buy it!!!
I really wish they'd realease a season or a volume DVD of episodes i really miss the series and i'm sure i'm not alone. Recently MTV 2 has been airing new episodes but the new Celebrity Deathmatch doesn't have the same charm and appeal as the oringinal.
Below Expectations... so very low September 2, 2005 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a dutiful fan of celebrity deathmatch I would enjoy the cable mrathon on Boxing Day. I was looking forward to continuing this tradition any day of the year. Sadly this is not to be. 45 minutes compared to 12 hours is an insult. I am certainly not 'getting it on'. Too little for too much.
Avoid it!! August 16, 2005 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This clasic and marvellous twisted show is one of the funniest things I've ever watched on TV, and the only worth thing watching in that ridiculous and obnoxious channel called MTV. But to release it for this price and containing only 45 (that's it: only 45 minutes!!)it's a shame, and aggression, it's simply not worth it. Maybe someday they will make it right: a box with all the seasons for a fair and reasonable price.
COULD BE BETTER December 5, 2004 4 out of 27 found this review helpful
ONLY EPISODES OF 1999- I CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH FAN BUT DVD IS NOT The REASON SO THAT I LIKE The SHOW I ANOTHER THING SO THAT THEY CANCELLED The SHOW IF HIM GO SO WELL THEY COULD HAVE HAD IMPRESSIVE BATTLES LIKE: Ashton Kutcher vs Jack Black NAOMI WATTSON vs Rene ZELLWEGER JASON LEE vs JUDE LAW "BUT NOOO THE SHOW IS CANCELED" THIS DVD IS VERY POOR NONCSINGLE PROBALY IS EAST DVD OF CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH THAT MANAGES TO REMOVE LIKE RELESED ALL THE SERIES.
