Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Hippy-dippy at its hippy-dippiest, Rainbow Bridge is a piece of counterculture slag that capitalizes on its footage of Jimi Hendrix (who died not long after filming). Actually, Hendrix only shows up at the very end of this long, bizarre film, bringing the same luster that Sean Connery did to the dreadful Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Prior to that, however, are the slight and stupid trials of Pat Hartley, a woman sent to Hawaii to check out a commune. She finds a utopia for Philosophy 101 dropouts and the kinds of freethinkers Joe Friday used to deflate so easily on Dragnet. Not a frame of this film is interesting--not thematically, not cinematically, not any-atically. Hendrix fans will probably find Rainbow Bridge worth it for those lingering moments of the master and his guitar, but fast-forward to get there. Better yet, track down the late guitar master's incendiary (literally) performance from Monterey Pop, bracketed by equally astonishing turns by other '60s greats. --Keith Simanton

To begin, it would be a mistake to approach viewing this film as a
"Jimi Hendrix film." As I understand it it began as a documentary about
the Rainbow Bridge meditation center. When it was filmed nobody knew
Jimi's death was but two months down the road. The film was supposedly
bankrolled by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love (qv) -- the loosely knit
communal family that first delivered mass quantities of high-quality
LSD and Afghan hashish to the western world.

Apparently most people who acquired this film expected a glorious tribute to the mythical Jimi Hendrix. Their disappointment is understandable. Although Hendrix is present in many ways throughout the film (his music forms the main soundtrack, plus there's some nice footage of his famous "volcano-concert", and finally he is shown speaking to two other characters for a few minutes about... whatever), he is not at all the protagonist/hero nor even the main topic. To use the words of one of the characters ... Read More

I was very interesting to look inside 60th with drugs, sex and music. It was the time when was born geniuses of rock-music. Amazing time. And Jimi Hendrix was the main core of this time I mean.

The Rainbow Bridge DVD/VHS is enjoyable as a laughable time capsule. However, being billed as a concert movie, this was anything but. If you purchased the "Soundtrack" album to the same movie you will be woefully disappointed since the LP contains great tracks from Hendrix but no performances from Rainbow Bridge (aka Rainbow Ridge) These performances weren't released on CD and Vinyl until about 30 plus years after the fact (and in limited pressings) The same can be said of this bait-and-switch movie. There ... Read More

I did not appreciate Hendrix's music until years after his death. His music was just too far ahead of the times. But, then, in my early 20s, I listened to the Band of Gypsys album and it has been my favorite guitar music .... ever.
Okay, now about this movie. Yes, it is definitely false advertising. The cover makes it sound like it is the typical Hendrix concert documentary, but it is anything but that.
I bought the VHS not knowing at all its history. I saw it in a sale rack for 4.99 ... Read More
