the FIRST human highlight film!May 11, 2008

WOW...this is an amazing documentary...just enough "talking heads" to keep the story moving but TONS and TONS of great action footage. I think if most players in the game had ONE play as good as any of the literally couple hundred shown during this hour plus film...they's cherish it. As youngster living in Southern California during his heyday...I read about Orr in sports illustrated but seeing this footage is a revelation and I now understand why fans say he's better than Gretzky and I'd have to agree...he is just much more multi-dimensional. I don't know what is more awe inspiring...his intercepting a pass and taking it the full length to score, his throwing himself head first (without a helmet) to cover an empty net on defense or his flat out speed...this guy was ridiculous.
I purchased on Amazon Canada for under $20 ...and I think Mr Orr sells them on his site so don't pay 89 dollars..

The 'Real' Great oneJul 30, 2007

Orr is the best hockey player who ever lived...plain and simple. Anybody who knows anything about hockey should agree. Sure Gretzky was an offensive genius, but did you see him checking guys, blocking shots, fighting or killing penalties single-handedly?? I don't think so. 5 Orr's against 5 Gretzky's it would be no contest. Winning Best defenseman in the league and at the same time winnin the scoring title(twice) equals total and utter domination of your sport. Thus, he was a target for cheap shots from Goons like Bobby Clarke, Pat Quinn and Bill Barber who did not know what else to do. We all know the rest as Orr retired in his prime at the tender age of 30. One of the biggest disappointments in sports history. This dvd shows a lot of what he could do. I just ordered it and I'm assuming it's the same as the 'best of' VHS tape that I owned years ago. The best, by far, Bobby Orr
