Awesome collection of nearly everything FALCO
Great collection that the Torpedo Twins put together. Only thing missing is the original Der Kommisar video. IT is a great trip down memory lane to when 80's pop was at it's height.

Everything?
Although the title "Everything" is misleading, it's still a wonderful DVD. It has a nice documentary (complete with subtitles for those of us who don't speak German) and a different version of Der Kommisar that I hadn't seen before.Great for Falco fans!

So many problems, but still worth getting.
Although Amazon states this is region 1, it is not. Amazon also states it is PAL. This is correct. You need a multi-region player to watch this. Kinda important info to know.The dvd is worth having for the documentaries that have interviews with Falco in the bonus feature section. Also the hardcore version of Naked is quite special.The downside is the retarded version of Vienna Calling, which has the original video in a too small square in the upper left corner superimposed on some stupid building. Why? So terrible.As others have stated, this dvd does not include the original version of Der Komissar, but instead has some lame attempt at updating it to try to appeal to the rave zombie crowd. If you're a raver, you might like it. I'm not, I didn't. It's called the Club 69 Remix. Should be called the Please Love Me Again Give Me Money remix.Don't let my complaining dissuade you from getting this, especially for such a cheap price, just know what you're getting into here and it won't hurt as much.

not quite..."Everything"
Makes you wonder that if Falco were alive today, would he have authorized the title of this DVD, or even release it for that matter? When you take into consideration how plentiful the omissions are here. "Everything" seems grossly overstated. Starring in the film "Heldon Von Heute" (originally aired on Austrian television back in the mid 80's), which was basically a compilation of all his promo video's from his classic 1984 release "Junge Roemer". The end result of that project could only be considered one of the first video LP's ever produced. Trumping "Everything" into oblivion. Although "Young Romans" survives the cut here, nothing else from the film is spared with the exception of a video "re-edit" of the Bowie-esque song "Heroes Of Today". Rendering Falco's 1986 (A&M records "Falco:Rock Me Falco") VHS release a collectors treasure in the purist sense of the word simply because it contains the original versions of "Der Kommissar" and "Vienna Calling".However, this release is worth seeking out for the alternative version of "Young Romans" and of course, a pristine copy of the video smash "Rock Me Amadeus" goes without say. But that's about it for those of you who remembered Falco from the old A&M days. What I mean to say is; you won't see rarities like "On The Run" or "Ganz Wien" from his brilliant first release, 1982's "Einzelhaft". Upon viewing this DVD, it became abundantly clear to me that the producers of this compilation (aptly called "The Torpedo Twins") Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher weren't really aware of (...or, would rather forget) Falco prior to the 1990's. So, if you enjoyed Falco's "Egoist" days, then this compilation of video's will certainly satisfy you. As it contains gems like "Out Of The Dark", "No Time For Revolution" and the gritty "Push! Push!". For "Everything" else, you'll have to look for the bootleg release of "Everything Else". Which oh by the way...contains everything else.olofpalme63

I'm fairly happy with this DVD
I'm fairly happy with this DVD, but it should probably have a different title because indeed it doesn't include "Everything". As one poster noted, none of his earlier videos made it onto this collection, except for Junge Roemer. I don't understand why they had to "update" Vienna Calling. I prefer the original video of that song. But I do enjoy the remix of Der Kommissar and video, though again it would've been nice if they had included the original video as well. I also like the bonus video of Junge Roemer showing him on stage. Still, it would've been nice to see all the videos from the Junge Roemer album included here. Also, there's a video on YouTube of Ganz Wien that should've been on here as well. A lot is missing, but if you're a Falco fan as I am, then this is a good DVD to have. Also, as a reminder, this is in the PAL format, so you'll need a region-free DVD/Blu-Ray player, but it's so worth it. I have other Falco DVD's in the PAL format and it's great to be able to watch them.
