Mr. Ed's Excellent Adventures - AZ mostly - not easy to find anymore
Offroad Exposure - don't know if they are still around per se but you can get some their's from 4x4 now and Sports in the Rough
BFE Films - hard to find
Distributors where you can find many of the videos:
Difficult Trail:

http://difficulttrail.com/CalRocs_video.shtml
http://difficulttrail.com/Hammerdown.shtml
4x4 books: Large Selection

I have seen most of the videos and they all are pretty good depending on what is you are looking for.
Although not really hardcore the Skyjacker Womens Rock Crawling video has some of the best production quality. However, Big Rock and Suburban White Guys are good for rockcrawling competition. I also like Mr. Ed's - its like a home video.

When you say cliffhangers of Norway do you mean Formula Off Road?? If so please contact www.foff.nu and I'm sure that they can help you to get videos of Formula Off Road.
