Sam Kinison - Breaking the Rules

Summary: Funnier dead than many are alive
Review: The world was robbed of comedic genius when Sam Kinison was killed. Thank God for these current DVD releases that will preserve his memory and comedy forever. Sam may not have released many concerts or albums in his time, but the ones that are out there are unforgettable. Some of the subjects discussed in this show include (...) of the dead, Hell as Club Med, the real reason Jesus won't come back, and licking the alphabet on a woman. And that's the tame stuff. This is Sam at his prime, before he became the gigantic coke-fiend he was later known for (not that he wasn't funny THEN, too). Buy this DVD and learn why, even after he's been dead and rotting for years, people just can't shut up about him.

Review: This is a MUST buy for all Sam Kinison fans. We miss you Sam, but thankfully your spirit will live on in the dvds provided for our entertainment. Every time I listen to Sam Kinison I can gurantee you I will be having respitory problems after the show is over, due to all the laughing you get out of this guy! This particular dvd is one of my favorites. So if you're a newbie to Sam's work or a fellow fan and you don't have this, BUY IT! IT'S 110% WORTH IT!GOD BLESS YOU SAM, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!

Summary: Breaking The Rules - Sam Kinison 1987
Review: This was my first ever video experience of Sam Kinison way back in 1987. Four friends and I were marking off the days looking forward to it's original airing on HBO.
We were not disappointed, nor was I disappointed upon just receiving a copy of the video today.
This was early in his popularity, just after "Back To School" and he is particularly raucous and loud in this video. He was still at his peak as a "Wild Man",
still doing drugs (oh...THEY SEE THROUGH ME! OH! OH! OH!)and obviously pretty fresh from his breakup (I WAS MARRIED FOR 2 YEARS! HELL WOULD BE LIKE CLUB MED! OH! OH!)
But there is utter brilliance behind the screaming. His treatment of religion is one("Think Jesus is coming back?" Jesus - "Yeah I'm coming back. As soon as I CAN PLAY THE PIANO AGAIN I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!").
Another is his skit about sending food to the homeless in the African Sahara ("Stop sending these people food. Send them U-Hauls! Nah! Send me. Everybody on board! We'll make one trip. See this stuff! (he is scooping up imaginary SAND) "Nothing grows in this S---! Nothing's gonna grow in this S---! Get your kids, get everyone aboard! I'll take you where the FOOD IS!!!! You live in a F------ Desert!")
This video could not possibly disappoint a Sam fan.
