Netflix has a lot of random movies. I think i have found just about every wierd movie there i have ever looked for. Sadly, they do not have The Fish that Saved Pittsburg.
I was really hoping to watch it. I somehow had never heard of it, even though I am a huge movie and basketball fan. Hmmm, someone must have it.
my thoughts exactly.
such horror.
i hate it...absolutely.
The movie was horrible... the only reason to see it is if you are a Doc severensin fan, as he has a fairly cool song in the movie... otherwise your should probably thank Netflix.
shareHmmm, i guess i'm not really a Doc Severenson(SP?)fan. Though i don't dislike him. So being a HUGE basketball/nba fan isn't enough to like this one? I thought seeing Dr j in an acting role, yet alone a lead role, woudl be amusing enough.
shareI loved this movie and fell in love with basketball because of it. I still get a thrill watching Meadowlark Lemon, Kareem, and Dr. J in this movie. I found it on Amazon....VHS of course. Some Blockbusters have it.
shareIt looks like the reason Netflix doesn't have it is that there's never been a DVD release of it.
sharehmmm, that's a bummer. I'll keep my eye out for one of those cool indy video rental stores (used to live near one, not now). That's probably my best chance.
sharegood luck finding it - i cannot find it anywhere
shareIt's been about 4 years, but if you're still interested:
Watch it free with either of these 2 links. Putlocker quality is pretty low but still watchable:

This link is a semi-higher quality player but for some reason you can't skip ahead or rewind a scene:

I gotta older cousin who wanted me to find this movie, and I was able to get it through torrents. If you're interested, I'm still seeding it. Just get a bit torrent client, and click the one that says "download this torrent." It didn't take long to download either.

Yeah I agree. It really is a shame we can't find the quality older movies anywhere to buy or rent. Maybe that could be a new business.
My Sig: Nothing here.
Ugh, three and half years later and they still don't have it. That's why I came here. Does this even exist on DVD?
shareAlright, I started this thread four years ago!
i just saw on this board they released the DVD. Which means you can rent TFTSP!
Try here--get a 48 hour rental for 3 bucks--perhaps free if you have Prime, idk:

I'll be renting it soon!

I loved that movie as a kid, quirky but it worked! They had some serious basketball legends in it.
