Title: Blast From The Past: The Return Of El Diablo
Post by: kaneda on March 20, 2011, 04:24:00 AM

You know you've become totally engrossed in a stunt vid when you start tapping your feet on the floor in time with the soundtrack. Recluse's 'Return of El Diablo' is one of these vids. The soundtrack is just so catchy that you'll find yourself humming it at the bus stop days after you've watched ROED. If memory serves, ROED was the first stunt vid to carry a specific theme throughout, and possibly the first to use VC's zoom feature in replays. For it's time, it was also fantastic quality (keep in mind that many vids at that time were 320X240 mpgs).

The culmination of all these elements results in a slick and adrenalin fuelled bump fest. Yes, the stunts can become a tad repetitive, but the overall awesomeness of the vid leaves you not giving a toss. Recluse ultimately lived up to his name, but his claims to fame (being the first to land on the Hyman Stadium ring, among others) forced other stunters to stand up and take notice.

Sit back, give yourself some room, because this one WILL have you movin.

FUN FACT: You can hunt up some of Recluse's other vids at GTAForums.com - check em out.

I can clearly remember finding about this stunt vid some months ago totally accidentally, and it was a very enjoyable watch, like it.

I do care who invented stunting, they own at it. I prefer 'classic' vids over the so-called 'new' ones any time.

I haven't seen this video in years! I like the cutscenes throughout it really gives a story to the video almost, definitely nicely themed. Fun stunts throughout and a great atmosphere.
