Absolutely Essential For Charger Fans
On 9/9/09 a San Diego theater premiered the ~80 minute feature,complete with Charger Girls and numerous Charger greats.Watching this great film on the big screen with hundred of Bolt-headswas awesome. It’s brilliantly edited, with plenty for newer fans, but LOTS forthose of us whose #21 jersey has “HADL” on the back (still love ya, LT!).So, I was delighted when I saw that Amazon’s write-up said thatthis item was 240 minutes. That means a great bonus feature onthe 1981 team, and lots of shorter extras on Lance, Dickie, Junior,Charlie and more.If you’re a Charger fan (and have read this far) then you know thatwe’ve suffered a lot over the years. Yes, repeated heartbreaks,zero Lombardi trophies, and only one Super Bowl appearance, which,is not even a happy memory. But one of the best things that thispackage does, is remind (or for the newer fans, teach) one just howmuch Charger football has contributed to the NFL. Sure, we don’thave any championships (unless you count ’63, pre-merger)but there is A LOT to be proud of. Between Sid Gillman and Don Coryell,San Diego virtually taught the modern NFL how to throw the ball.Dan Fouts may not have a ring, but breaking the all-time passing record3 years in a row is a phenomenal achievement. Anyone who could watchthis film and not demand that Don Coryell be in the Hall of Fame, is nuts.There are also great interviews…new ones, that will surprise you.So, yes, an absolute must have. Long, long overdue.My only complaint is that I was really hoping for a blu-ray version.Admittedly, much of the film–from the ’60s & ’70s…and even ’80s–probably wouldn’t really be improved in HD, given the source material…but still…it’s late 2009…new stuff should be offered in the best formats.It crossed my mind to ding the score a bit for that…but decided that no,this is a review of THIS product, in DVD format…and it’s freakin’ awesome!

The Legend of the Chargersâ¡ï¸
The San Diego Chargers in 1978, with the arrival of coach Don Coryell, after replacing head coach Tommy Prothro, began what was one of the most exciting periods in Charger history, and profootball. This was a time of prominence for the NFL when it consisted of 28 teams, and the AFC and NFC had the west, central, east divisions, unlike today. Air Coryell was led by QB Dan Fouts, hall of famer, and protected by a star offensive line that allowed him to throw to talented receivers Charlie Joiner (hall of famer), John Jefferson, tightend Kellen Winslow (hall of famer), and Wes Chandler, Games with their bitter rival the Oakland Raiders are shown, and the 1981 AFC Div playoff game in Miami, against the Dolphins, as stated, perhaps the greatest playoff game ever, and it was. The early birth of the Chargers began in 1959, with the new AFL under head coach Sid Gillman with star running backs Paul Lowe, and Keith Lincoln, QB Jack Kemp (later U.S. Congressman). Defensive tackle Ernie Ladd, end Earl Faison, and nine time Pro-Bowl offensive tackle Ron Mix. Winning the AFL championship in 1963 with QB Tobin Rote throwing to receiving great Lance Alworth (hall of famer). Later, in 65 QB John Hadl would throw to Alworth, and In 66, featured receiver Gary Garrison, half back Dickie Post, safety Kenny Graham, kick returner Leslie “Speedy” Duncan. Candid commentaries from players, along NFL films footage make this a must have for Charger fans, and enjoyable to watch.

Well worth the price for the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s footage alone.
Myself, I bought this DVD hoping that it wouldn’t contain footage that I had seen before on my old VHS tape “Legend of the Lightning Bolt.” Needless to say, I was not disappointed. VERY good mix of old footage that was all new to me, and the best bonus of all in this set was the “NFL Missing Rings” story of the 1981 season. I truly wish that NFL films would do an entire series of all of the Super Bowl teams that DIDN’T win the big one, because their stories seem to be much more compelling than those teams who ultimately attained victory (The 1969 Minnesota Vikings story on the “Missing Rings” set is my absolute fave). Granted, the Chargers didn’t make the Super Bowl that year, but what they went through the previous seasons leading up to 1981 is engaging to say the least. I have always admired Dan Fouts as a QB, but after watching that piece, I really like him as a person now (Especially him telling the story of his hat that read “MFIC” . .but you’ll have to see the DVD to find out that bit of info, as I won’t divulge it in this review) because of the competitive nature of his that came out in that show.If you want to know what the DVD contains after 1990, you’ll have to read some of the other submissions, because on my end, I live in the past with regards to the NFL. So anything I say regarding that would definitely have a negative slant to it. But if you’re looking for great 60’s, 70’s & 80’s footage from the Chargers, you may want to buy this.

This is a very good pictorial history of the Chargers
I enjoyed this film immensely. The film covers the history of the Chargers from their beginnings in 1960 until 2009. It thoroughly covers the major players and all the coaches who were involved with the team during that time period. I learned that the name “Chargers” was given to the team by the first team owner who was also the owner of the Hilton hotel chain company. He named them the “chargers” after one who charges transactions on their credit card. I preferred the earlier logo of the horse (a charger), but the lighting bolt symbol (as in an electric bolt or charge) is the best. I think the Chargers have the best looking uniforms in the NFL. They have had many talented players over the years, but have yet to win a Super Bowl championship. I’d like to see them do that and look good doing it in their good looking powder blue, yellow, and white uniforms.
