Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ?
Review: not too sure about this one. The skating (is bad), the story line is bad, but rest is great. Don't get this see see skating but to see some van smashing and the guy from chips.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not your typical skate video/dvd
Review: Please don't knock this skate video/dvd because of the lack of technical or current skate tricks. It was filmed in 35mm - that cost a lot more than video. Therefore, they couldn't afford to let Jeremy and Keith do kick flips.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Masterpiece
Review: The major problem with skate videos today are that they are stale and predictable. Nothing really seperates a skate video from others. This is not the case with Destroying America. Lot's of destruction, high quality footage and a hilarious performance by Erik Estrada make this video great. Not to mention the eye candy provided by the beautiful Rachel Sterling. If you're looking for something new, interesting, entertaining, and different, give Destroying America a view. If you're a jaded skater smark, and pretend to hate anything that differs from the homogenated generic [stuff] you've been watching, then don't watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: The video is thoroughly entertaining and filled with unexpected surprises. The opening scene is great... it's shot in Chinatown where an innocent looking school girl kicks the hell out of a "perverted white guy" that can't seem to take a hint. The next scene consists of sexy nurses basically bursting out of the nurse uniforms. Scenes that follow are Jeremy Klein and Heath Kirchart destroying everything they run into and outsmarting Ponch... yes, Ponch! What more can a guy ask for? If you're looking for your average skate video - go somewhere else. If you want to be thoroughly entertained - get this video now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: This is not a skateboarding movie. It's basically a real movie, but has skateboarding in it. It's hilarious and highly entertaining. The movie features great skating by Heath Kirchart and Jeremy Klein as well as: crazy stunts, van smashing, hook-ups tour footage and more. The actual story is about two skaters (Heath & Jeremy) that are being followed around by a cop who is trying to bust them for all the laws they have broken. It kept me laughing for a while. The DVD features are great. There's tons of features. Such as: Cast & Crew pics, bios & photos, behind the scenes, additional footage, board graphics, trailers, ads and much more. Get this vid now!

Summary: Brilliant!!!!
Review: This is the worst skate video I have ever seen, much less one of the poorest excuses for comedy ever committed to film. If you are looking to see skating, then stay away from this steaming pile of trash. If you are into seeing two guys drive around in a beat up van setting things on fire or are eleven years old, then you will probably like this. It wouldn't be half bad (but still pretty dumb) if they combined said driving around and setting things on fire with some actual SKATING. There's probably only 5 minutes of skating in the entire video. The whole thing plays like a cut-rate episode of MTV's "Jackass," but at least "Jackass" was sometimes kinda' funny and wasn't pretending to be a skate video. Heath Kirchart and Jeremy Klein come off like Johnny Knoxville wanna-be's with half the wit...and that's not saying much.

Maybe I missed it and the whole point was to fill 45 minutes with the most cliched and dumbest jokes and situations on the planet, (C'mon...cops hanging around the donut shop jokes?! That's a new one. Haven't ever seen that before) thus making it a REALLY BAD video on purpose. I think that's giving them way too much credit. The only credit they truly deserve is for giving me a headache and the urge to run the DVD over with my car 200 times.

I can't speak for the rest of America, but I do know it completely destroyed 45 minutes of my time. Have a nice day.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I want my 45 minutes back.

Summary: Not a great skate film, but . . .
Review: This isn't a very good skate movie. The pacing of the non-skate stuff is tedious and cumbersome and not all that entertaining. The scenes with the nurses, for example, are incredibly boring, as the novelty of volleyball-sized twins wears off almost instantly. The destruction of the police car at the end is boring too, at least until they dump it off the building. Tony Hawk's segment left me thinking "huh?" The references to Hawk's Gleaming the Cube role is funny for a second, but it goes on for minutes.

The saving graces are the skate segments, Ming Tran's segments, Gayblader, and the behind the scenes video (especially all the Ming Tran segments). If you can pick this up cheap, it's worth it for that.
