      I saw Casualties of War (1989) and Top Gear Vietnam Special (2008). Vietnam is possibly the best Top Gear Episode/Special ever. I just want to see that country in the 2000s again. I feel it'd be too different today.

    This is why I love Top gear with the original James, Richard and Jeremy.
    Every time I watch an episode, the moment the first joke cracks. I would be sitting watching the episode, smiling until the whole episode ends.
    When I watched this Vietnam Special I literally have a smile on my face while watching the whole episode. Same for the rest of the Episode's this three people presented.
    probably the only car show in the world that keeps me smiling and entertained through out the duration of the episode's and specials.
    Top Gear is not going to be same unless all 3 of them are in it. And I doubt there are any people out there that can pull off the same entertainment this 3 people can produce :).
    If you want a benchmark for a show with a lot of comedy, and entertainment and car reviews full of laugh's.. This is it!.
    I love how James may brought with him Darcy whilst swimming to the Bar :D hahaha

      Nobody at all in England has heard of "Suiyo dodeshou". It's not well known at all.
      They'd been doing various "challenges" for years, from things like taking a car and converting it (badly) for use at sea, and then had challenges based on racing a car v various other modes of transport, to see which is quickest - eg car v public transport on various routes, and the ideas just got bigger, to the point where they'd occasionally become an entire show.

    • @KoinzellGaming
      @KoinzellGaming 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Kane Kure Using a format that someone created a long time ago without knowing that thing existed isn't "copying", not to mention if you go by stealing things or aspects from other shows, I am certain that the show you mentioned wasn't the first of its kind in the world, there might be some indie shows that you are not aware of, because travelling around the world, making challenges, and stuff like that, they are extremely simple things that shouldn't be copyrighted. Just like you wouldn't copyright a whole fantasy/FPS/W.e genre and that's because every person is different. Unless they are copying their interactions from the show which you mentioned and it's clear that they're copying, I don't think you have a place to be pissed off at them, simply because they are them, and that "Suiyo Dodeshou" show had its own personalities.
      Not to mention that copyright doesn't work like that. If you want to make sure that certain formats are not copied, you need to register a copyright first and then you need to defend that copyright. If that is not done, then you will lose the right over that copyright. And again, top gear and now Grand Tour isn't a plain copy of the show you mentioned.

      Brian Tuazon in many interviews of celebrities hes shown how much he hates bikes. I dont quite understand why but i imagine its from either a bad experience of his or one of someone close to him. Or he just doesnt like having to be focused constantly to keep it balanced but thats not really a big issue because i find it just becomes natural and you dont even realise your doing it. Like on an onramp i sometimes lean a fair bit. Nowhere near like the MotoGP or superbikes but enough to where if i was to hit a bump id probably lose it then again i dont usually lean on areas ive never been because i dont want to risk it that much. But i think its a thrill to lean and know that you could have a very bad day if you wipeout or you could just come out of it full of adrenaline. But to each their own. I still absolutely love driving though but riding is just as much fun.

    My first extended holiday was to Vietnam. I went for 30 days, travelled from north to south, Hanoi to Phu Quoc. it wasn't nearly enough time, I missed out on so much because of the short time-frame. Out of all 46 countries I've been to, this was the most unique and beautiful; from the limestone karst's in Nihn Bihn to the Archipelago's in Ha Long Bay, this truly is one of the most magnificent places in the world.

      Yeah I really do wish people would watch the originals one. Be it Blu-ray, Netflix,... or torrent. Even many of these episodes aired outside of UK are remixed and edited from the original.
      Cinematography and music is so amazing in TG when you are watching the original one in HD.

      maikkeli No point getting the DVD if you want to original music.
      It's all because of complicated rights management.
      The BBC have the right to play nearly anything they like when broadcasting on TV, but not on other media such as DVDs. Hence DVD and BluRay releases don't have the same music either :(

    Fun fact, this episode was on TV (US) one night long before I had ever heard of Top Gear. I must have been a teenager at the time and my mother and I stopped flipping through channels (you could do that back then) and figured we'd watch this 'travel show'. Later on I found it again and was surprised to see all these cars and things in it. I watched it anyway, starting with the specials, then cheap car challenges, then every episode in it's entirety, and even though before this episode randomly aired on US TV I had no interest in cars at all (didn't get a license till I was 25), I was now a massive Top Gear fan and love cars to this day. Just goes to show how random chance can change your life for the better.

  • @TheJboy88
    @TheJboy88 12 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    For me, the reason why I hold this as being the best example of Top Gear is that for once, we have no cars to focus on.
    This leaves us with just the interplay between the three lead presenters. And that's what makes this special so good because these three are some of the funniest people on the BBC with great on-screen chemistry.
    Just them, their trip and the country they have their trip in.
    Just pure entertainment.

      I definitely recommend it. I only went there for a short while, but of the five days I was there, there was only one time where there was a line on the road. It shouldn't be too bad. However, I do recommend staying somewhere nice.
