WHEN CAN I GET COPY OD SOLE SURVIVOR


Hello all, I have been searching for a copy of this fantastic movie and have had NO LUCK. I am looking for eiter a DVD or VHS copy. I have been hooked on this movie since I can remember and when I go into stores, give them the name and cast members they look at me like I am crazy. Can anyone HELP??????

Check eBay, using "sole survivor" as your search term; then check the feedback for the seller to determine its quality -- sellers of homemade videos usually put new copies of rarities up for auction on a regular basis, so you'll be able to determine how good a copy it is from previous buyers.
The DVD copy I got was about $20, reasonably recorded from a TV broadcast, with a noticable hum in the background of the soundtrack. Ran fine on my computer, but the last half-hour kept skipping in the DVD/VHS player hooked to my television. I transfered the files from the ebay DVD onto my harddrive and burned a new disk, which plays well on my regular player.

Wow, I've been looking for this movie too! Can I get a DVD or VHS copy from you? The cost? I've looked high and low!

E-me or call me,

I've found two websites offering DVDs and VHS tapes for SOLE SURVIVOR, as follows:

http://www.montrealfood.com/dvds.html

and

http://shop.vendio.com/HARDTOFINDFILMS/item/662355076/.

There is a substantial difference in the prices, but one is a compilation DVD produced from what the creator (http://www.montrealfood.com/dvds.html) claims were eight different "versions" of the made-for-TV movie. According to him, different broadcasts cut out different portions of the movie to make room for advertisements, so, in creating the compilation, he "cut-and-pasted" .. or, at least, the video editing equivalent of that .. missing parts together into one whole. If true, that ought to be one awesome DVD.

Thanks for the lead to Montrealfood.com

That's the copy I'm going to order. I don't care what it costs.

I managed to find a copy of this on DVD from someone on the net.
I think it's a copy of a video recording taken from the TV, but it's still a great movie.
