Dancing Outlaw DVD Review

Dancing Outlaw DVD
Average Reviews:

Dancing Outlaw is a classic documentary of a tap dancer and Elvis impersonator from Boone County, West Virginia. The documentary is both comical and sad but it gives a glimpse of life that you probably would not believe unless you saw it. I've first saw a dubbed version of this video several years ago that was of rather poor quality. I recently found "Dancing Outlaw" as well as "Dancing Outlaw II, Jesco Goes To Hollywood" both on a single DVD. The DVD is available for $49.95 on www.dancingoutlaw.com. I purchased the DVD and have now viewed the recently released DVD and it is of much better quality that the VHS tape and offers all the advantages of DVD including the viewing quality not diminishing with use and time.
What Amazon does not tell you in the above description is this DVD includes both "Dancing Outlaw" and "Dancing Outlaw II: Jesco Goes to Hollywood" and the video viewing time is 101 minutes. Still $99 is too much to pay when you can get the identical video directly from the producer for 1/2 the price.
I own a copy and I highly recommend it.

The Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia (2009) Review

WOW! Let me start off by saying I was floored by this documentary. I have been a fan of the original Dancing Outlaw videos since day one, but they do not hold a candle to this raw look into the real world of the White's family. The old videos were almost caddy and goofy, With a little bit of serious info. This video on the other hand actually does reveal what the family is really about. Its a very intimate, raw, no holds barred look into their world. The crew at DICKHOUSE know what they are doing. This documentary is very well put together and very entertaining. My hat's off to you DICKHOUSE. Thank you for putting out this video for the world to see. It's a masterpiece.

From executive producers Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine (Jackass) comes a shocking and outlandish year-in-the-life documentary about the White Family of Boone County, West Virginia's most notorious and surly family.Shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing, drug dealing, pill popping, murders and tap dancing. Nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, the White family lives an existence more like something from the Wild West than modern-day suburbified America. The legendary family is as known for their wild, excessive criminal ways as they are for their famous mountain dancing members, including Jesco White, the star of the cult classic documentary Dancing Outlaw. The film follows the Whites over the course of one tumultuous year, as they deal with a stabbing, criminal sentencing, attempted murder, death and birth. Never dull, THE WILD AND WONDERFUL WHITES OF WEST VIRGINIA are 'the Hatfields and McCoys all rolled into one' (New York Magazine).
