Advantages: Hilarious stunts, sick dares, all round carnage Disadvantages: None
I love this film, i cant believe i havent reviewed it yet. Its been sitting in my dvd collection for some time now but only sprung to my memory as i was showing a Canadian friend of mine this dvd, clearly telling him that these guys were on another level compared to Jackass but i had to show him to prove it, 10 minutes of selected items and he was convinced. he has since gone back to Canada and will not doubt be telling his pals about what these welsh people (and one englishman) get up to in their spare time!
-BACKGROUND-
Dirty Sanchez are 3 welsh guys from Newport, Matthew Pritchard, Lee Dainton and Mike Locke, better known as Pancho and one englishman by the name of Dan Joyce. They all met in the skateboard circle and i believe Pritchard and Dainton have been friends for years working on a magazine. Dainton actually owns his own ...
Advantages: Few and far between in all honesty Disadvantages: The shit people will do to get on TV
I am the last person in the world to be putting people down for doing stupid things but, in my opinion Dirty Sanchez takes things way too far and yes, that is from an avid Jackass fan who has watched from the first ever episode shown in this country.
Dirty Sanchez is MTV UK's cheap rip-off version of the hugely successful Jackass series which has taken the world by storm over the past few years. The main cast consists of 3 total wasters who just happen to be Welsh (not that i'm stereotyping or anything) and someone else who didn't interest me that much.
For me, the main problem this show has is it's obsession with sadistic forms of self-abuse. Whereas Jackass was partial situation comedy mixed with insanity and some excellent skits, Dirty Sanchez is more like a fly-on-the-wall documentary of a bunch of dossers with nothing better ...
Advantages: deleted scenes, available cheap now Disadvantages: not for faint hearted
Dirty Sanchez v Jackass...... Dirty Sanchez would win everytime for me.
Dirty Sanchez is a more extreme Jackass which it says it all on the DVD box to start with. Dirty Sanchez.... makes Jackass look like the teletubbies.
For those of you who don't know the Dirty Sanchez team, it consists of 4 friends, 3 friend Wales and 1 Londoner who each put themselves through gruelling tasks just for the fun of it, majority of them pain orientated with the odd one here and there that will turn your stomach upside down.
Pritchard - he is a proper mentalist and will try more or less anything put to him
Daintin - Again, he is very much like Pritchard and has had tasks in other programmes including having 50 pins put through his arm one after another
Pancho - Either Pancho can't take his drink or drinks more than the other, he seems ...

Producers: Branford Marsalis, David Sanchez. Recorded at Manhattan Center Studios, New York, New York on November 24 & 25, 1997. Includes liner notes by David Sanchez. OBSESION was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Performance. The eight compositions on this record are a complete melding of various pure Latin styles from Brazil and Cuba with contemporary jazz phrasing and harmonies. Although the songs are sometimes complexly arranged, the album still has a small ensemble sound with lots of room for soloing by various players in the ensemble. Each track features Sanchez, with his velvety yet clean and centered sound, as a primary melodic voice on either tenor or soprano saxophone, with a jazz rhythm section and a full complement of traditional Brazilian and Afro-Cuban percussion. On "Capullito de Alheli," the groove is funky, as Sanchez blows tenor over suspended harmonies. "Los Aretes De La Luna" and Sonando Con Puerto Rico" are boleros, the latter with a romantic string arrangement. The samba "Omorro Nao Tem Vez" and the bossa nova "Essa Mulher" have arrangements reminiscent of Claus Ogerman, with bass clarinet and flute adding airy and deep colors respectively.
Album Reviews
Vibe (6-7/98, p.172) - "...He has created a dynamic synthesis of jazz/classical tropes as well as Central/South American/Afro-Caribbean rhythms, motifs, and sensibilities..."
