Editorial Review:
Side 1: Nightmare Bay - When an underwater photographer is attacked inside a sea cave, she is saved by lifeguard Mitch Buchannon. The account of the attack is misconstrued and overblown by a newspaper reporter, and Mitch and the other Baywatch lifeguards find themselves dealing with a comical yet dangerous situation created by media hype and speculation that there is a "Creature in the Bay." Side 2: River of No Return - Raging rapids match the ocean surf for danger when Mitch heads for California's rugged Gold Country to investigate the death of his prospector uncle. David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Erika Eleniak
Baywatch: Nightmare Bay/River of No Return Reviews:
baywatch review 
2009-09-12 - I loved this show when i was younger. I was mad when they took eddie and shauni off. they made a cute couple.
Nice little DVD
2009-09-03 - This is a great DVD if you are a fan of the old early-to-mid 90s era of Baywatch. Of course it became utterly useless when they released Season 2,3, and 4 (marked as Season 1,2 & 3 on the DVD packaging) on Region 1 DVD a couple years ago, and the 2 two-part episodes on this set are apart of those seasons. But I still highly recommend it(if you can afford the absurd prices). Why? Nightmare Bay Pt 1 & 2(Season 2 premiere) and River of No Return Pt 1 & 2(Season 3 premiere) are strangely omitted from those releases. Still not sure why. Something about copyrights to these episodes.
What makes this so baffling is that River of No Return in particular is a very important episode in this era of Baywatch. It introduces C.J. Parker first and foremost, and it may even introduce Matt and Summer. I don't really recall. More importantly it's the last episode to feature Eddie & Shauni which bridges the gap between Season 2 and 3 and even of more importance, it gives us closure to Eddie and Shauni as to why they aren't in Season 3. Without this episode, the show goes from featuring Eddie & Shauni, then in the blink of an eye, they are gone with no explanation and C.J., Matt, and Summer are now at Baywatch which is how one would see it on the Region 1 DVDs.
Having said that, the value of this DVD is worth the asking prices (if you are a fan, of course).
Why is this ONE movie $100+ used? 
2007-01-27 - I dont get it, id like to see it but not for $100 lol?
"unique" Baywatch episode...
2005-08-11 - I used to have a lot of Baywatch's from tv taped on some videos but this is the only one i have now,and it's the actual video as represented here. It's a unique episode in which it's the only one in Baywatch history that features my three favorite blonds on the same episode...that being Pamela Anderson,Nicole Eggert and Erika Eleniak. You see,Erika's last show was this one and it happened to be Pamela's first.This is also Nicole's debut episode. So,thats a little Baywatch trivia i guess. Anyhow,decent story with awesome scenery as it takes place away from the beach (mostly) and is set somewhere on the Sacramento river. It'll make you wanna go camping watching this. The only sour parts of the show for me was Hobie constantly singing that gold miners song (you wanna strangle him after the 2nd time) and the fact that Erika (Shauni) cut her hair at some point and has it short. It should be long like Pamela's!!
The beginning of the end for the REAL Baywatch 
2005-05-05 - Season 1 was great, gritty storylines, realistic credible characters and some great music montages. This disc features the Season 2 pilot episode called Nightmare Bay. Gone are Parker Stevenson, Brandon Call and Shawn Weatherly only to be replaced in this episode by Jeremy Jackson as Hobie, Tom McTigue as Harvey and for this episode only Andrea Thompson as Devon Connor. David Hasselhoff, Billy Warlock and Erika Eleniak remain from season 1. This was a good episode in places including a great rescue scene featuring Erika Eleniak (Shauni) saving a young girl from drowning and befriending her and her family. The rest of the show follows a monster in the bay storyline which turns out to be a mini-sub. The second side of this disc features the pilot episode of season 3 - River Of No Return. This episode sees the debut of a whole new cast of characters including David Charvet as Matt Brody, Pamela Denise Anderson as CJ Parker, Nicole Eggert as Summer Quinn, Kelly Slater as Jimmy Slade and Susan Anton as Jackie Quinn. This episode also features the marriage and departure of Eddie (Billy Warlock) & Shauni (Erika Eleniak) after a white water rapids adventure with Mitch, Hobie and CJ. Overall this DVD is one I would recommend, it's really the last parts of Baywatch you'll find before the show really lost any credibility it had and earnt the name Babewatch.
Cast includes: David Hasselhoff as Lt Mitch Buchannon, Billy Warlock as Eddie Kramer, Erika Eleniak as Shauni McClain, Monte Markham as Captain Don Thorpe, Richard Jaeckel as Lt Ben Edwards, Andrea Thompson as Devon Connor, Tom McTigue as Harvey Miller, Pamela Denise Anderson as CJ Parker, David Charvet as Matt Brody, Nicole Eggert as Summer Quinn, Kelly Slater as Jimmy Slade & Susan Anton as Jackie Quinn.
