Bubba ho-tep bootleg
I bought bubba off ebay. I think it's a bootleg. First off the cover has a big dts logo over the top and a dts9 circular symbol in the corner. The disk is even weirder. It has the 20th century fox logo and no mgm logo. Was it distrubited by fox over seas?

To the OP, that does sound like a bootleg, but I don't have my copy in front of me to check.

Yeah it's a definite bootleg. Tried all the behind the scenes, the music video, they all lead to a basic trailer (john travolta flick).
Figured no one would be bootleginf this dvd but i guess they are bootleging everything possible.

It's common for asian bootlegs to have "DVD9" on them. Good for you to chase this down - there's nothing lower than someone selling a bootleg (if that's indeed what's happened).

Was there not a picture in the auction? Usually between a picture and specs, its pretty easy to pick out a bootleg...I know Ive never made the mistake of buying one (not on Ebay at least).

Hey, I'm a newbie to this site and was looking at what you said about buying the bootleg version of the DVD on ebay. I actually own the dvd from a site that i frequently buy from called www.MyOwnSite.com. They have it for $17.99. Can you actually watch the version you got? It's a funny movie and in my opinion, it's worth buying the real version.
