Splish splash.. Go West.

 


Hello Blog! 

Another post about MY VHS COLLECTION!

This time it's Splash again! Yes.. THAT movie.. but it's a little shorter this time, I actually had a post about SPLASH some time ago.. 

this is about the other stuff on the VHS too =)

The first that pops up is something about boys that went out sailing.. (its a french program, I thought it was called thalasso or thalassa or something like that) but I cannot find anything about it on the net. So this content will remain a mystery for ever.. This is recorded in the times after FREE WILLY, cos it contains a couple of piece from the movie: (yes  did recognise it!) and it shows some kids having an adventure on the Mediterranen Sea and encountering Dolphins, whales and other... a documentary.

So my best guess would be 1994! Other things for future references.. This program has been realised by Bernard Collet.. And mentions a man called 'Jean-Pierre Sylvestre'..  and cruising on the internet I found quite the stuff about him!! Cool.. !! And I think he must be living in Canada! (of all places that are holy!!) the french part that is! (East side)

Pretty neat actually! About Mr Sylvestre: 

Naturaliste spécialisé dans les mammifères marins, Jean-Pierre Sylvestre voyage et suit baleines et dauphins depuis plus de 30 ans, principalement en Antarctique, en Arctique, en Asie et en Amérique du Nord. Il est également photoreporter animalier et l’auteur d’une quinzaine d’ouvrages en zoologie de même que de nombreux articles dans la presse canadienne et européenne.

The second thing is.. an intro to a sports show from tv, I recorded this piece, because it's about America and the World cup soccer.. (I KNOW.. SOCCER..) In that day the RED DEVILS recorded a (very ugly) song to the melody of 'Go west' (from the Pet shop boys) and they used this song with some imaged from America and off course, you can see (I think its) Shamu from Sea World on this television intro

Luchtige zomerquiz van de sportredactie naar aanleiding van het WK voetbal in de Verenigde Staten. Elke week nemen 2 internationals het tegen elkaar op in een voetbalquiz onder leiding van quizmaster Leo Van Der Elst. Als afsluiter brengt een artiest een muzikale ode aan een Rode Duivel die hem nauw aan het hart ligt.


THE WK SOCCER was held between: 17 juni – 17 juli 1994

Here is the red devils version of GO west.. (mind you, this is terrible).. This was actually some kind of prank.. but nevertheless used in the end :P


the particular piece of this intro is quite bad, but an attempt to film this with my phone :)

Then we have the movie SPLASH..  love love love love love this movie! I watched this movie over and over again.. it's also in very bad shape of the endless time watching it.

Needles to say, this was my favorite VHS EVER.

And now it's in the bin.. because of .. yay.. progress..

fun fact..

On the disney+ version there is a lot more coverup of Hannah's (Madison) behind.. then this version on my VHS (en the DVD I own) this was because of the PG rating that time .. and no ass please :P

The last bit on this VHS even suprised me.. it was some footage from LIBERTYtv.com... 

and it shows clips of FLORIDA (nope, no orcas!) and EGYPT.. more or less some touristic views..

Thats it folks! Greetings
