Beauty Day

In 1990--a full decade before crash comedy came into vogue in the States--Ontario native Ralph Zavadil launched "The Cap'n Video Show" on local cable access, and he'd spend the next five years setting his face on fire, snorting raw eggs, licking chocolate sauce off a dog, and most infamously breaking his neck jumping into a covered pool. This documentary portrait visits Zavadil as he preps for a 20th anniversary celebration, and he holds forth on his strange life and times. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; "Cap'n Video Show" clips; "Cap'n Video Show" anniversary special; deleted scenes.
