why is this movie so expensive?


i've been looking around for it and it's listed at $30 all over. even on ebay and amazon. why?

reply

yea dude no idea my bro just got it for like 25 or sumthin but he said that its lised every else for around 30 bucks

reply

I don't know either. I just thought of this movie tonight and thought I'd look it up. Best buy doesn't even carry it. It's $33 on Amazon? Kickboxer had prices like this for a year or 2 also and now you can get it for cheap. Hopefully this will do the same. I'm not gonna pay this kinda money for a dvd.

I bought for about 4-5 USD (3 euros) here in Finland =)

I just talked to my brother and he said it's out of print. He said they're probably waiting for the demand to get high again then someone will buy the rights and reissue it.

I bought this move at best buy around 2000-2001 at Best Buy (12.99 -14.99 movie at the time).

They are selling two different versions used throughb Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000639EZ/sr=1-1/qid=1155572943/ref=sr_1_1/102-0740666-2464952?ie=UTF8&s=dvd

and

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000ILFQ/sr=1-2/qid=1155572943/ref=sr_1_2/102-0740666-2464952?ie=UTF8&s=dvd


Looks like the first one is the cardboard style dvd with plastic flip latch lid and also has extra text on the cover. Is this a first printing?

The second is the one I have. Standard dvd w/ plastic covering for the cover. It has the Chapter index insert included.

Is there any other differences between the two? The first one sells anywhere from 49.99-199.99 used. The second sells for at least 19.99 used.

Bought it for $9.05 Australian (~7 USD) here - http://atlanticdvd.com.au/view.cfm?id=15312

Just like Fletch, this one is out of print so finding it is a little more difficult. So they sellit at a premium. But it is a good movie, I am not sure it is a film you need to own or anything but oh well.

Just bought a copy of Amazon, Like new for $20!

reply

I've got the region 2 version, which is a bit lame. I just looked for it on region 1 and it's going for over £60. Madness.

reply

Just record it off MGM man, cost a few bucks and as good as any retail VHS out there. I'll even speculate that the DVD isn't that much better quality.

reply

I just recorded it on DVD off cable from Movie Plex, uncut, no commercials. Full screen, but I'm not complaining, picture quality may not be as good as an original DVD, but it's still very good.

reply

the dvd is fullscreen anyways. i love comcast's on demand for just this reason.

reply

Because it is out of print and not easy to find new. It's a lot less expensive to buy a used copy of the movie. That's what I did. I'd recommend checking out ebay.

reply

I just bought it on DVD in the local supermarket for £2! ($3.73)

That's in the UK though, so it was region 2.

I don't believe in signatures.

reply

DUDE? Have you seen the movie? Its that much because its freaking awsome

reply

lol I use to have this movie recorded off VHS all un-cut. And lol you can just get a torrent lol hell I don't wanna watch it but no doubt it's there not many seeds or a lot I bet not in between.
