Next is Momentum: IMAX, made in 1992. Go head-to-head with an icebreaker. Plunge down a twisting mountain gorge.

Third is Mondo Mod/ The Hippie Revolt (Special Edition) - it's Mods vs. Hippies in this "Double Feature Teen Time Capsule" from the Out-of-Sight Sixties! Greaser mods, bee-hived go-go girls, and the pre-hippie "Mod Generation" run wild in "Mondo Mod" (1967, 72 min.), a lunatic look at the Hollywood Youth Scene of 1966 that's so hilariously dated it's almost breathtaking! "The Hippie Revolt" (1967, 75 min.) - Lurking right around the corner from the Mod Madness of 1966 is The Hippie Revolt of 1967, a psychedelic celebration of the Nitty Gritty non-reality of the Haight-Ashbury Hippie experience!

Spanning centuries and nations, the manuscript's reach encompasses a wide array of stories both humorous and horrifying, gleeful and grotesque, before the final chilling revelations bring this one of a kind book to a close.
