The Good, The Bad, The Ugly was the name of the eleventh Clarkson home video release, as part of a series which would be released yearly through to 2011. It was filmed between the eighth and ninth series of Top Gear, around the same time as Hammond's Vampire Dragster Crash.
Synopsis[]
This release is much of the same content Clarkson was known for, except for the first time since Apocalypse Clarkson it does not take place at an airfield, Dunsfold or otherwise, instead taking place in the arid deserts of America, where he embarks on a quest to find a "decent" car made by the country. He tests many sports, muscle and supercars before turning his ire towards some cars he hates, including a Toyota Prius which is shot at by an angry redneck and a pair of Buick Park Avenues which are torn apart by two teams; one representing the UK and the other representing the USA.
Trivia[]
- This is the first Clarkson release to have ditched the series' original soundtrack in favour of a new one.
- Interestingly, the video opens up with Jenkins and Waterfield's "Dirty Dollars", perhaps best well-known as the BBC's stock music replacement for Ennio Morricone's La Resa Dei Conti during the Toyota Hilux Destruction.
- A sticker on the original UK release details an opportunity for a buyer of the DVD to attend filming for Clarkson's next video project, Supercar Showdown.
