DARK HORSE is a winner!
Wonderful family movie, heartwarming and endearing. A++++

One of thebest movies ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great movie. espeially for horse lovers.I really like how everything worked out at the end and Allison got Jet!

great family movie
Good movie especially for teens.The only parts I didn't like were thegoofy "romantic" scenes between Ed Begley and Mimi Rogers...theyhad absolutely no on-screen chemistry.The interaction between the girland the horse is great.Worthwhile. ... Read more

Key to Rebecca
I thought the TV version did not do justice to the book nor to the development of the characters. The producers should have stuck to the book.Cliff Roberton was very good and so was Season Hubley although her character in the book is much more interesting and complex.

So where is the DVD release?
I've been waiting and waiting.I really want to get the DVD, 'cause I've already replaced too many tapes that have been worn out or eaten by by VHS machine.

A made for TV movie that is close to the book
If you have seen "Eye of the Needle" (1981), then you will probably like this movie as they are both good adaptations of Ken Follett Novels. However this one was a mini series on TV so there was not as much thought put in to it as if it were a made for theater movie. However the film was made in Tunisia.

A Quantum Leap classic
i dont know why they took this show off after only 5 seasons.the pilot episode is great, if you have any questions about quantum leap, this episode will answer all of your questions.

I think it was very awesome in how Sam dealt his merory.
How he dealt with his loss of memory,and also how he jumped into the accelerator just to provehis point on his theory of Quantum physics. Also how he dealt with the premature labor of his (Tom Stratton's) wife.Plus, Ithink Quantum Leap is cool, But the pilot episode goes above thenorm. to FAR-OUT!

Great Pilot
The best Quatum Leap episode available. The first season was QL's best season. GET IT! ... Read more

Superior supernatural fare
An Australian film with British leads, made by the Fayman/Ginnane team, The Survivor is based upon the book by James Herbert. When a 747 crashes shortly after take-off, the sole survivor is the pilot. Virtually unhurt,he and the investigators look for the answers to the disaster. Meanwhilemysterious deaths occur in the community and only a psychic, in touch withthe supernatural, can help the pilot unravel the mystery surrounding thedoomed plane. Directed by actor David Hemmings(Blow-up), The Survivormanages to create an eerie feeling throughout and although the pacing lagsin places, the opening scenes are gripping, the acting is top-notch andthere is a great shock ending(a la Twilight Zone).Robert Powell(Jesus ofNazareth) gives an intense performance as Captain Keller, desperatelysearching for answers to the crash. Jenny Agutter(American Werewolf inLondon) is also convincing as Hobbs, a psychic plagued by the spirits ofthe diaster. An aging Joseph Cotten is cast in a small role as the priestand he plays it well.If you're looking formonster,slasher,special-effect laden babe-fest science-fiction,this moviewill not be your cup of tea. However, if subtle, well-crafted film thatrequires thought from the viewer is for you,The Survivor might just do the trick. ... Read more

The most memorable leap aside from the show finale
Catch a Falling Star has to be the most memorable 'leap'.The reality of the actors playing persons who are themselves actors gives this leap a great sense of being actually there watching as the show is being made.A most memorable line from Dean Stockwell (Al) as he describes the emotion of his real-life vs pseudo-reality while being scanned in close by the camera "all eyes focused on yourself" is fantastic.You are able to think about both the actual story AND about what it must be like to make the series at the same time.Plus, Sam not only gets his girl, he shows a darker side and wishes the person he is supposed to save "breaks his arrogant ass".It is so un-Sam-like and yet so human (he is jealous). Of course Sam comes through in the end and marches off stage into his next Leap with Al by his side - but for 50 wonderful minutes you feel as if you have been there too.

Essential QL
Like Shock Theatre and The Leap Home, Catch a Falling Star is a "must have" for any true Quantum Leap lover. This episode showcases Scott Bakula's singing talent.The episode was written using Man of La Mancha as a metaphor for the friendship between Sam and Al for Don Quiote and Sancho. Very moving.

Likely the best tv episode I've seen
While I've certainly not seen every television show ever made, I've seen quite a bit.I'm not a huge QL fan, but I don't know if I've ever seen anything this good.Not perfect, but I still tear up a little thinking about the ending.Try to see parts 1 and 2 consecutively if you can. Quantum Leap:The Leap Home
"Quantum Leap" is my favorite show of all time and I never missed an episode.I wish it never went off the air!I have to say that my favorite episodes are "The Leap Home" when Sam leaps into himself as a teenager and then into his brother's sqad in Vietnam.The two parts are extremely moving.The very last scene of part two still gives me chills.The acting is superb by both Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell (as always).I highly recommend "The Leap Home" and any of the other episodes!

Unfair Trading Practices!
These videos are excellent and well worth buying. I am, however, extremely disappointed that Quantum Leap is NOT available to English customers. On www.amazon.co.uk, Quantum Leap is only available in the books. Which sadly fail to live up to the series. Why are the videos only for sale to America and Canada. Read more

sad but beautiful
Wonderful performances by Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell.Great plot.Loved it.Just one of the many reasons Quantum Leap should have lasted longer than it did.

Absolutely One of The BEST Quantum Leap Episodes Ever
This episode is extremely satisfying for anyone who is familiar with the series and especially the Sam-Al relationship. It is a definite tour-de-force for Scott Bakula's acting talents, as it is a rare time when he not only plays Sam Beckett but "becomes" those he has previously leapt into. I highly recommend this episode.

Quantum Leap at its best
This is by far one of the best Quantum Leap episodes there is. Sam loses touch with his reality due to a shock therapy treatment and "becomes" people that he has previously leaped into. This causes the project to almost lose contact with Sam for good. This episode has some great suspense as Al fights to make Sam realize who he is all the while fading in nd out as Ziggy fights to keep contact. The episode has a wonderful surprise ending as well, and its a great shame the companion episode hasn't been released on video as well. Anyway, this one is well worth a few bucks and will provide you hours of enjoyment as it is worth watching again and again and again. ... Read more

Sam leaps into a detective with a gruesome murder to solve
"Dreams-February 28, 1979" is something of a misnomer, because this "Quantum Leap" episode (#61, November 13, 1991) is more about nightmares.Sam leaps into a detective who is investigating a pretty gruesome murder.He may well me next on the murderer's hit list and the only ones who can help him are the victim's catatonic son and her husband's psychiatrist.To make things even more interesting, Sam is experiencing horrible flashbacks.Written by Deborah Pratt (who also wrote "Shock Theater" for the series), "Dreams" has guest stars Jocelyn O'Brien, Alan Scarfe and Bill Marcus.Certainly an interesting choice for inclusion in the video collection, which is a nice way of saying there are other episodes I would have selected first (the Lee Harvey Oswald ones being my first choice).

One of the best
This video is very good and interesting, because it is defferent from other episodes of QL. It is cute to see Sam's vonerability and Al is there for Sam as usual. As also in many other QL episodes in this it is not onlyabout the plot itself, but about the friendship between the two men.Irecommend to buy the video and enjoy one of the best episodes of QuantumLeap.

Quantum Leap - Dreams
This is a bit different from other Quantum Leap shows in the fact that it's length is shorter and the plot is a murder mystery. Its a good who-done-it movie with a turn of events that is surprising. I had neverseen this episode on TV so it was totally new to me and I did enjoy it. ... Read more

Does anyone out there know where we can get this movie ( Race for the Yankee Zephyr ( 1981 Ken Wahl, Donald Pleasance, etc. ) on dvd for USA dvd players! ) Vhs or even a burnt copy will do!!!

Sam finds its a whole new world when he leaps into Samantha
Sam leaps into a woman in "What Price Gloria? - October 16, 1961" (Episode #13, October 25, 1989).Samantha Stormer is a gorgeous secretary for an automobile company, which means he has to deal with not only being sexually harassed by his boss (John Calvin) and a suicide attempt by his roommate (Jean Segal), but the effect Samantha's looks are having on Al.Not a classic episode of "Quantum Leap," but certainly above average as Sam gets to see how the other half lives.As always, the chief charm is Scott Bakula's completely convincing performance.Written by Deborah Pratt, this episode was directed by Alan J. Levi.

I think Sam's first leap into a woman was funny.
I felt it was funny to see Sam's first forayinto a woman's body, although I didn't thinkSamantha looked that pretty when they showed her in the mirror. But the episode itself was good. September 7, 1999-

Interesting to see Sam's first leap into a woman.
I thought it was funny to see the first episode where Sam leaped into a woman, although I think the actress who played Samantha's image in the mirror could have been prettier if the plot was partly about Al's reactionto Sam.- September 7, 1999 ... Read more

There were better ones .
My advise is to avoid this episode . It is quite a surprise they released it on VHS and with a price tag of [price]!!! There were a whole lot better ones and with the same amount of money you can get your hands on one of the best (double!) episodes of the series called "The leap home" ... A great episode from a great show!
Why this show was cancelled is beyond me. Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell are a great team and together create real emotional depth as Dr. Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci. The science of the show is not as riveting to me as is the camaraderie between the two leads, who basically carried the show. Bakula is an actor of great versatility and style, and he plays Sam with a sweet befuddlement that is nowhere more apparent than this episode. Sam's body betrays him as he leaps into the developmentally disabled "Jimmy." He cannot seem to do anything right and it is desperately important that he not be sent back to the institution. Jimmy's sister-in-law grows more and more annoyed as Jimmy breaks plates and generally disrupts her house. Jimmy's brother and nephew accept him as he is, but Jimmy must prove himself to his brother's wife and does so in a heroic way. The usually-wisecracking Al shows a tender side as he pleads with Sam not to give up on Jimmy, giving us know a little more insight into his life. Jimmy
Sam leaps into a man named Jimmy who needs a job from his brother. While on the job he is thought to be a "retard" because he sometimes does somethings wrong. He must save a boy from drowning and save himselfand his brother from being fired. ... Read more

Quantum Leap Seasons
I must say the pilot episode was a must see. I think it may be one of my favorites really, its one of the only times we get to see where Sam came from. What time and such, now I saw a remark on here about Seasons 4 & 5 I wanted to respond to this. As we know Season 4 is on order here at Amazon. Due out March 28th of next year. Season 5 I'd wonder if that season may come out this summer? Kinda wonderin on that. Any thoughts?

The Best
I loved Quantum Leap when it was airing. I am so glad that it is on DVD now. I did't buy this DVD, But I did buy season 1, 2, & 3. This episode is on Season 1. Its just as good as I remembered. Now I just want to know when Season 4 & 5 come out.

Like Many Pilots, Slow if You Know the Series
Sam Beckett is having a slight memory problem.He can't remember who he is or what he does.He just knows that the body he's in isn't his own.Heck, he's supposed to be a test pilot who doesn't know the first thing about flying.And the year 1956 feels wrong as well.

A compromise .
In this episode Sam is a teenager trying to open his sister's mind to the fact that the man she has chosen to marry is a very poor choice . You won't remember much of the episode after seeing it , but it's better than the some of the other bargains offered here .

One of the best QL episodes
This is one of the best Quantum Leap episodes. I truly enjoyed watching Scott Bakula as a Cameron

HIGH SCHOOL NERD!

Sam in black .
This is the best episode of the first season . This was the first success of the brand new series in touching my heart , in helping to understand how is it to walk in someone else's shoes , and especially , in a black man's shoes . As for the story itself , Sam leaps into a black man in the early Sixties and refuses to suffer from the discrimination and segregation blacks endured on those days . Different in a good way
this one also a first being a Black person that is. this one deals with racial prejustice and segregration one scott's better preformances. it also showed the black strugle through the fifties. ... Read more
