Editorial Review:
A cross between two of our culture's great guilty pleasures--pro wrestling and poking fun at celebrities--MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch is an instant, surefire cult classic. That the show's actual brilliance only occasionally matches the amazing concept isn't that big a deal, nor is the fact that the matchups (Jerry Seinfeld versus Tim Allen, Mariah Carey versus Jim Carrey, Prince Charles versus The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and David Spade versus Steven Seagal are all included on this volume) are often better than the fights themselves. The Claymation show's behind-the-scenes secrets are also exposed on this video, and with the caveat that the off-camera talent should largely remain off-camera, learning about the show's production techniques is a treat. Rather than splicing these sequences between each fight, however, they would have been better off packaged as a bonus that ran after the two episodes collected here. --Randy Silver

I used to be addicted to this show in 10th grade. I would come home and around 10 o'clock at night Celebrity Deathmatch would be on. It was unique the way the show was created at the time. I don't even know if the show is still around- haven't seen it in years.
The matches on this collection are really good and I would like you to buy it because it's also pretty funny.
Rating:  - MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch: Round 1
When I saw this video, I was happy to remember what MTV was like before. I used to watch this show all the time because it was really good, and so is this video. There are six matches but the first three are not that good (not statisfying). The other three though are a lot better. These last three were Steven Segal vs. David Spade, Prince vs. Prince William, Michael Jordan vs. Dennis Rodman. I would still recommend this video to any fan of Celebrity Deathmatch, and if you have never seen it you will ... Read More
Rating: - It's Gonna Be A Bloodbath!
Some of the earliest Deathmatche's from Series One are on this tape, including the classics: Hillary Clinton vs. Monica Lewinsky, Mariah Carey vs. Jim Carrey and Jerry Seinfield vs. Tim Allen. As always Celebrity Deathmatch manages to touch the funny bone, even if it is always being re-shown on MTV. There is a special behind-the-scenes studio tour not shown on TV that is very funny. Good fight, good night! If you're stuck between buying this one, Round 2 or Greatest Hits, go for Round 2!

great to watch especially if you watch wwf cos STONECOLD STEVE AUSTIN sometimes appears on the show excellent clay-mation
Rating: - Gumby Meets WWF
Absolutly funny fictionous clay animation satire of celebritys fighting until death in an fighting ring. The funniest episodes were Garth Brooks versing Maralyn Manson, the Knight Rider guy versing John Tesh, and Arnold Schwartzenegger versing Sylvester Stallone. I have no idea what the names of those episodes are.
