This is a very limited edition

This is not the traditional version of "Dancing Outlaw" that is available on Amazon and others for around $50. The other reviewers were wondering why this is so expensive when it is available for less on the developers' web site. It is acutally $175 on the developers web site with only a few copies left. If you are a hard core Jesco fan -- you'll want this very limited edition. If not -- stick with the OG version for $50. As others have said -- this film is amazing. You'll quote it for years. The only comparable film is "My Brothers Keeper". However, Jesco has a great deal more humor to it -- in the fashion of a WV Mackenzie brother.

A "Must Own" DVD

Dancing Outlaw is a classic documentary of a tap dancer and Elvis impersonator from Boone County, West Virginia. The documentary is both comical and sad but it gives a glimpse of life that you probably would not believe unless you saw it. I've first saw a dubbed version of this video several years ago that was of rather poor quality. I recently found "Dancing Outlaw" as well as "Dancing Outlaw II, Jesco Goes To Hollywood" both on a single DVD. The DVD is available for $49.95 on www.dancingoutlaw.com. I purchased the DVD and have now viewed the recently released DVD and it is of much better quality that the VHS tape and offers all the advantages of DVD including the viewing quality not diminishing with use and time.

What Amazon does not tell you in the above description is this DVD includes both "Dancing Outlaw" and "Dancing Outlaw II: Jesco Goes to Hollywood" and the video viewing time is 101 minutes. Still $99 is too much to pay when you can get the identical video directly from the producer for 1/2 the price.

I own a copy and I highly recommend it.

Great Documentary.

This is an absolute gem of a documentary and will have you clutching yourself in hysterics. However, I'm stunned at the price. I can't imagine why the DVD price is in the stratosphere. I'm not pleased because it means fewer people are going to see a cult classic. I'm from WV so this film bowling me over really is saying something. Unfortunately, even with how awesome it is, I'm not sure I would pay $100 to see it. Good thing I have my copy off of PBS from years ago. I bet this is why it may be so expensive. They certainly didn't see any profit from the first go around when it unexpectedly took off. It was all off bootleg videos circulating.
