Description

Hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, and build team members Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara, the MYTHBUSTERS mix scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create their own signature style of explosive experimentation. The team s combined backgrounds in animatronics, robotics, model building and prototyping arm them with the ability to create anything they need to test a myth.

Ten Complete Episodes, including:
Alaska Special -If left alone in the remote hills of Alaska, can you really go mad? Plus, Pick-Up Ice Plunge & Moose Mayhem.
NASA Moon Landing-On this episode of Mythbusters, the Moon Landing Hoax Hour, the team tackles the tallest tale of all! Did NASA pull off the greatest cover-up in human history?
Exploding Steak- Jamie and Adam start from scratch to see if tough steak really can be tenderized with high-explosives. Plus, Don't Drive Angry
Blind Driving -In Scent of a Woman, a blind Al Pacino takes the wheel of a Ferrari and cruises down the back streets of NYC; Adam and Jamie take turns in putting on the blindfold to try this out. But there's a twist!

Plus, three golf myths!


Customer reviews for 'Mythbusters: Collection 5'

«Great Show Greedy Marketing»

Mythbusters is a fantastic show. The show on its own gets a 5-Star in my opinion. On the other hand...

This dvd set contains very few episodes. Why don't they release this show in series anymore? The used versions of the series sell at inflated prices, so obviously that's the format that people would rather purchase. Why did they discontinue the season releases? I know this show doesn't follow a season format, but the Discovery Channel could release every 25 episodes in a box set and call it a season. Or they could package all the episodes that aired over the course of a calendar year and call that a season. I hate trying to collect an entire series when the releases are haphazard.

My specific problem with Collection 5 is that, as other reviewers have pointed out, it offers less episodes than the previous Collection releases. I can't see any motivation for that since there are plenty of episodes waiting to be released except to stretch out the releases as thin as possible to sell us as many Collection sets and take more of our money for the same amount of product.

It's a great, stimulating show-5 Stars. The marketing decisions get 1 Star. The average of the two = 3 Stars, hence my rating. Show good. Discovery Channel bad.

«nice, but save your money»

The price for this dvd hovers around 15$. Buy this at target for 15$ and save the hassle of shipping and the up-and-down price. this dvd has these episodes: -Alaska Special, -Exploding Steak, -Blind Driving, -Return of the Ninja (AKA Ninjas 2),
-Alcohol myths, -Motorcycle Flip (My Favorite), -Coffin Punch, -End with a Bang,
-Alaska special 2, and Banana Slip Double Dip. Great dvd but buy this at target. I love it and no flaws.

«A great collection!»

This is a great way to get the best episodes without having to buy an entire season, which is VERY expensive. We love the collection and think it was a fun way to get a variety!
