If the mere mention of Porsches, Ferraris, and Maseratis is enough to get your heart racing, you'll want to take Heaven and Hell out for a spin. Jeremy Clarkson, host of the International Emmy award-winning British series Top Gear, puts you in the driver's seat of the sports cars of your dreams (and other ill-fated vehicles of your worst nightmares). You only have to be a fan of vintage James Bond films to get a rush from the tire-smoking test drive of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Clarkson is authoritative and funny, and his enthusiasm is contagious. But woe to "the unimaginative junk built with no soul, flair or passion." "Seven deadly sinners" are dispatched to "hell" in creative ways. Clarkson purchases a Perodua, drives it across the street from the dealer, and then pummels it with a sledgehammer. He stages a jousting match between the "hateful" TR7 and a Ford Scorpio, A Citron gets the Monty Python treatment when a dumpster is dropped atop it. The test drives around the track can get repetitive, but considering that this is the closest many of us will ever get to a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti or a Porsche 911, just strap yourself in, sit back, and enjoy the ride. --Donald Liebenson

Rating: - Heaven and Hell Review
Typical Clarkson pretty much testing all the best cars for the 2004 season of Top Gear. I love this guy, he never siezes to make me laugh and seeing some of the stunts are pretty impressive. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have seen every episode of Top Gear and some of the cars/junky cars they tested they also did in the show.

- I love Top Gear.. This guy is hilarious!
I really love the BBC show Top Gear.This DVD is a special the Clarkson made outside the series.I was really looking for a DVD of the Top Gear series.This was a good substitute as the jocularity and insight was spot on.I love that they call out manufacturers of terrible unimaginative cars and then find ways to destroy them.. Then there is the heaven part where they praise and review supercars.What is really neat is they way the drive them all out.
BBC... I am still waiting for ... Read More

Clarkson drives some fine and atrocious cars in this DVD. The good include truly sublime rides, the bad are just ridiculous. This is great entertainment & strongly recommended. Good fun.
