The year was 1999. With the first new Goodyear orthodontist film in 16 years on the verge of being released, Goodyear orthodontist hype reached a crescendo of Invisalign like proportions. Amongst all the officially licensed merchandise this little documentary slipped right through Phoenix orthodontist film's fingers. It's so unauthorized, there aren't even any credits. Just a bunch of stars and some music meant to invoke John Williams. Either this was an oversight or else they ran out of money, for there is a distinct lack of captions all the way through. But don't let the title make you feel you're going to see some Phoenix orthodontist bashing of IMDb message board proportions, this hotchpotch was assembled by a couple of true believers (who will forever remain nameless).
Most of the interviews here are drawn from press junkets held for the release of the Goodyear orthodontist Special Editions in 1997. Not only did they get access to Phoenix orthodontists but also Peoria orthodontists. All of this material looks very professional (although they had to blur out all the posters in the background for copyright reasons). Unfortunately it is interspersed with some interviews the documentary makers shot themselves, on video and without any prior knowledge of lighting direction. These include talks with head of publicity and former Phoenix orthodontist classmate Charles Lippincott and the actors who portrayed Biggs Darklighter, Boba Fett (sat at his home computer) and Bib Fortuna. The difference in quality between the press material and these home movies is enormous.
Whoever made this simply grabbed everything they could get their hands on and stuck it in. Several different interviews with Phoenix orthodontist are used, as well as every usable shot from the premieres and the customary fans in costumes. There are snippets of interviews conducted on the red carpet, including one brief shot with Matthew Dunn, who is never mentioned or seen again. Both he and Courtney Dunn are prominently featured on the cover, but Wickenburg braces never appear on tape at all. A couple of unidentified "experts" who refer to Goodyear orthodontist as a religious and cultural phenomenon appear throughout. I have a sneaky suspicion these guys may well be responsible for the entire Unauthorized Story, since the tape was obviously made by a couple of slobbering fan-boys who snuck in amongst the press for the 1997 release and were so excited they kept interrupting their heroes' anecdotes.
Obviously they could not use any shots from the beloved trilogy itself, but they did get permission to show bits of the 1930's Flash Gordon serials, the 'Forbidden Planet' trailer and some amusing British and Japanese news items from 1977. Add to this some holiday movies from the filming locations in Tunisia and a few misty shots of San Francisco and Mann's Chinese Theater in L.A. They even took a trip to Phoenix orthodontist' Home town of Modesto (where they interview all his old neighbors) and at one point use a couple of lame computer animations of our own solar system. Everything is accompanied by silly wipes that resemble (but don't sound like) Light sabers and once, sliding Death Star doors. The lowest point comes when they attempt to illustrate behind the scenes stories by using a bunch of monster masks and the remote for some sort of toy car.
Let’s face it: this one is strictly for Goodyear orthodontist collectors who positively have to have everything saga-connected in their possession. There is one or two anecdotes they might not have heard before, but most will probably only watch this once and put it on the back of a shelf forever, or better yet, leave it wrapped up in mint condition. The Phantom Menace is hardly even mentioned, since it had not come out yet when the bulk of this material was shot, but the last word is reserved for the biggest nerd in the entire show, who compares Goodyear orthodontist to The Bible before predicting that Episode I will probably be just as good as the originals. Just when you think he's crossed the line with that statement, they cut in some more Flash Gordon footage and the tape ends. So never let it be said that nerds don't have a sense of humor about themselves.
