Amazon.com:
Beastie Boys fans with a firm command of DVD angle and subtitle features will find the Criterion Collection's version of the group's Video Anthology a must. Augmenting 18 videos with more than 100 camera angles and remixes old and new, the 2-disc set brings Criterion's attention to detail and quality to bear on some of the most hilarious and visually creative music clips ever. In addition to hits such as 'So What'cha Want,' 'Intergalactic,' and 'Shake Your Rump,' the set also includes such lesser-known cuts as 'Ricky's Theme' and 'Netty's Girl.' Finally, director comments, a mock talk-show appearance by 'the cast of Sabotage' (the Beasties' spoof of '70s cop shows), and behind-the-scenes mastermind Nathanial Hörnblowér's 'The Robot vs. the Octopus Monster Saga' lend further insight into the Beasties' creative process with their collaborators. Long may they tape. --Rickey Wright

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A unique volume in the always impressive Criterion Collection
The fact that this collection was released by Criterion is strongly indicative of the quality of the music videos within. The Beastie Boys have made so many great videos of their career that they fill two DVDs - only Bjork can rival them in terms of volume and quality. Now they're compiled in this awesome package from the best DVD studio in the world.
The two criticisms this collection regularly receives are, despite what some might say, not the fault of Criterion. The videos from "Licensed ... Read More
Rating:  - Perfect except.....
Love this collection, except that it is censored... beeps all over the place and it kinda ruins it for me. I have been a beastie fan since the beginning, and this is a bit of a disappointment. Criterion should be ashamed for this, as they don't even give you the option of turning the beeps off. Seems this release doesn't follow Criterion's commitment to preserving the integrity of the artist's work. would have given 5 stars if it weren't censored
Rating: - Great disc
I'm just writing to echo all the praise for these discs. It's a great collection and the audio features are very extensive with all the remixes.
NOTEWORTHY: all songs are CENSORED, shame on you, Criterion. There is worse language in PG rated movies and TV sitcoms than what gets bleeped out of all the music here. And I don't just mean the occasional 'f' and 's' words, I mean even the mildest curse words are bleeped out. Why? There's no reason whatsoever to alter the music on a DVD release, ... Read More
Rating:  - The best compilation.
When I found this compilation will be released by criterion I could not believe it, that means they will treat the videos with the best quality and extras, and i was not dissapointed.
The extra material is great, video angles and mixes that can be switched anytime during the video play.
I remember back when Sabotage was released and frequently played on Mtv back on '94, they were and still are the coolest dudes.
Truly recommended if you like the band.
By the way what happened to the ... Read More
Rating: - So whatcha whatcha whatcha want?
Way too cool!
I had no idea the Beasties had so many sweet videos! I'm no die hard fan or anything, but this is worth picking up just for the cool beats and amazing production.
I love Criterion, this is the only DVD of music videos in the collection that I know of. It offers some cool extra stuff to the songs as well, like alternate angles, remixes, storyboards, info, and more.
My faves have got to be Intergalactic and Sabotage, those are awesome. The Beastie Boys have fun rapping, they don't ... Read More
