MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch: Round 2 [VHS]

Celebrity Deathmatch: Round 2 is all about the fights! This marvelous Claymation series from MTV not only pokes fun at the stars, but frequently has the stars poking fun at themselves. Stone Cold Steve Austin adds his comments to the first of the two episodes on this tape, in which Loch Ness Monster (cheered on by guest Sean Connery) battles Bigfoot; Steve Tyler takes on Mick Jagger in the Battle for the Biggest Lips in Rock & Roll; and in the main event, the Battle for Late Night, Jay Leno and David Letterman go toe to toe as real-life Johnny Carson disses both of them as the guest referee. The second episode begins with the Cavalcade of Cruelty: Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken duking it out for the title of biggest villain. Next is Michael Flatley versus Bill Gates (and the ensuing mystery of exactly why those two would be fighting each other). The main event is a doozy: Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio whaling on each other. What's so much fun (and satisfying) in these pro-wrestling type matches is that, as often as not, both contestants end up mutilated. This isn't a show for the faint of heart; yes, it's only clay, but it's gory clay, and body parts (including intestines) frequently fly. But it's all in great fun. --Jenny Brown
