MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge - Season 2

Like all of the MXC dvds, this one made me laugh so hard the entire time it was playing that I had to pause it every now and then just to catch my breath. Previous to coming across MXC on Spike, I had seen this show on TV in its original Japanese form as Takeshi's Castle while staying with friends in the UK. Even having no idea what was being said, we were laughing our heads off. It is many times funnier with commentary by Vic and Kenny. I'm 60 years old and I've never seen anything this funny on TV. However, I only recommend watching one episode at a time lest you accidentally asphyxiate yourself.

Ever since i saw it awhile back on Spike TV. I saw the dvds available and it was not even a question. The show is funny and yes the stunts might be unbelievable, but the contestants and announcers, voice actors bring something else to this show, fun. There are some painful eliminations in here and all of that but nothing extraordinarily outrageous. Its just a cool show to watch and enjoy. I like the Log run and the one where contestants try and cross a bridge while getting blasted by brass balls from the other folks in the show.Great value and all around enjoyable show for all.

While this is an awesome show, several episodes on either disc refuse to play(same is true for my season 1 set). It's obviously an error within the disc itself, not due to the condition(near perfect). Also, all my other dvd's and games play fine so it's not my hardware. Episode 5 and 6, and 2 more on the second disc flat out will not play, they freeze, skip, etc. Just a heads up to anyone viewing this item.

Don't let the edited version of Episode 12 keep you from buying this set as the remaining 12 are here in their entirely. In terms of special features, it's a lot like Season One, there yet another episode of "Takeshi Castle". While they made impovements on "Kenny Blankenship's Top 25 Most Eliminations of the Season" over the season one set, the "Behind the Scenes of MXC leaves something to be desired as it doesn't really us how they put the show together (most of it is shows the voice actors in the recording room). Hopefully, we'll see more seasonal sets of MXC.A note about the edited show: Episode 12: Real Monsters Vs. Commercial Mascots has been edited by 45%. unlike the other reviewers, I don't really like this show. Those giving these this set a low rating just because of that edited show should be pointing their fingers at the copyright holders of the monsters that's been cut out.

The first season DVD skips! This was priced high and too forever to deliver. I doesn't even play. So dissapointing.

Loved this show when it was on tv and glad to see that the seasons are available on DVD, would prefer bluray but not really necessary since the actual Japanese show that's dubbed over is from the early 90's so no high definition available. Great price as well I plan on building up the collection of seasons. Arrived quickly and exactly as advertised.

I was waiting for this one, because it would hold my favorite episode, MONSTERS Vs. MASCOTS (aka The Monster Show).Got it home, & I see on the INSIDE packaging "HIGHLIGHTS" - Edited from Broadcast version. NOOOOOOOOPop it in & sure enough, EVERY rubber-suited monster scene is edited OUT. The beginning, where Vic & Ken gather the monsters, sinkers & floaters cut up, Muddy Balls cut up, and Stones of Mount McKidney COMPLETELY cut.The only thing I can think of is it had to get cut due to copyright problems. The monsters are mostly Ultraman & Dynaman critters, and an ARMY of Ultramen fight them off at the end. The character dubbed "Piss In Boots" is actually an Astroboy-like costume, so that's why HE's out. Ah well.. At least I have it on VHS from broadcast. So word of warning - if you HAVE it from broadcast, DON'T ELIMINATE YOUR TAPE!!! INDEED!!!!

I love this show, and it's great to have it on DVD. A great collection, awesome quality and sound on these discs. It evens contains one of the shows from the original Japanese broadcast, showing just how different it is from the American version. A great DVD collection. Will be buying season 3 soon.

Great show
