Quotes

Narrator: Thunder and lightning batter the rocks. The winds howl, and great storms break on the forest, scatter the herds like grain. Fire leaps from dark to dark, fear and anger leap to meet it - we will not go down. We will not be beaten down like grain.

User Reviews

See the original 1995 video with Michael Flatley.

This production must have been edited by some psychotic MTV speed freak. I don't think there was a single stretch of film that lasted more than 15 seconds long before an editing cut was made, which completely destroyed the flow of the dance. RIVERDANCE was a wonderful show, but this tape was a butcher job. See the original 1995 video, with Michael Flatley as the primary dancer, and get an idea of what it was really like.
