This movie is one of my all-time favorites, but it bombed hard at the box office and since everybody involved has disowned it.
Why do you think that is? People's natural fear of clowns? It's one of my favorites too. I remember being interested when it came out, but I didn't see it til it hit home video because I didn't go to the theater much at that time & I was probably a bit wary after the waste of time that was Ghostbusters 2. For years it bothered me that Quick Change was unknown & What About Bob (which I thought was mostly crap) was a huge hit.
Bill made some unusual commercials for the movie that I hope will be included in the eventual DVD release. The one I remember best was a fake news story where Bill discussed current films using the same chart board that he used to use on SNL. He ended it by forecasting "a Quick Change/Lambada summer." Funny at the time. A little sad now to see how right he was. I think another had him sneaking around & rushing to the safety of a boat taking off while he offered to refund any disappointed viewer's money - if they could find him.

Groucho

Why do you think that is?A terrible marketing campaign. The first trailer I saw for the film had sentimental music played over footage over Murray sitting on the subway in clown makeup. It made the film look like a boring "crying on the inside" clown drama. In fact I think it even had Murray's "crying on the inside" line played out of context.
Because of the horrific ads, I had no interest in this film, but ended up getting free tickets to a sneak preview when it opened theatrically, and loved the movie ever since.

I don't know about that first one... but the one with his running and then speeding off on a boat offering to refund your money was a commercial for <b>The Man Who Knew Too Little</b>. He's holding up a sign with the title of the movie on it as he shouts "Remember the name!"

On VHS, all the hostages picked Geena Davis to go next. Suddenly you see Bill Murray and Geena Davis come out of the bank, her shirt is ripped.
In theaters, after Geena Davis was picked, it shows Murray and Davis talking and he's taping the money to her hiding it under her shirt and that Murray was cleaning the clown makeup off, since he distroyed all the cameras. Then to fool the cops more, Murray rips Davis' shirt to make it more convincing. The two of them then come from the bank.
I saw this in the theater and when I bought the VHS tape, the scenes were missing.

It's kind of obvious anyway. They're all on the box cover/movie poster; the synopsis mentions that the three of them rob a bank; and it would be a bit strange to have two big stars in bit roles as disguised hostages. I gotta think most viewers see that one coming a mile away.

The punchline is when the doors open and we see that the "hostages" are in fact the bankrobbers pretending to be hostages, not that Bill Murray and Gina Davis played those characters. We know that they are bankrobbers. What we don't know is how they're going to get out of the bank.
It's a matter of timing. The joke is funnier when it is revealed as they come out the doors. Showing too much set-up beforehand makes it merely a plot-point, not a gag.

After all, the VHS version, Murray lets one hostage go and Davis comes out with her shirt ripped, followed by Murray. 1) How did Davis's shirt get ripped. 2) If Davis wasn't part of the robbery, she would have told the cops right there that Murray was the clown robber.

So just release it and not make this seem like a science project.

Bill Murray's only had about 10 movies come out over the years since the advent of DVD, they could have cross-promoted with any one of them.

Just a note that Warner Home Video has removed Bill Murray's Quick Change from its listings. The disc, which was due next week on August 30th, is now indefinitely delayed. My personal guess is that they may be adding bonus materials to what was a bare-bones disc. But then again it could be one of those pesky legal issues holding it up. We'll let you know more if we find anything out. And remember: sometimes their noses are horns.

Yet they were wrong and thus you should'nt always jump to conclusions of 'they're not releasing it because.....'. That film ended up coming out as a somewhat SE with a few extra features.
So there is a good chance the same could be said for Quick Change. Afterall,despite being a failure upon release. It has grown a cult audience over the years. With the stars in the film. It's ripe for milking for all it's worth.

Ok, fine and all, if you are not a fan of the film and don't mind waiting 1/2 a year for any word on a possible release date, when it was only 7 days away from release.
A couple of reasons why it was pulled from release could be:
1. The studio wants to release it at a more appropriate time (use as a tie-in for Broken Flowers DVD).
2. The studio may have pulled it to generate more interest in the title, for release in the future, use it as a clever marketing ploy.
3. The studio wants to add extra's and stuff to the dvd, and changed their minds at short notice.
4. The studio may have found technical problems in the presentation.
5. There may have been some kind of legal issue associated with the release (something in the artwork maybe).
6. There may be no real reason at all, just didn't fit into their equation for release.

Best Buy had Quick Change out early, I shouted with joy in the store when I saw it there, I said...... Yeeeeeees! I bought it, so it is officially released now. The menu for it has Bill Murray as the clown, very nice menu, and the only special feature is the trailer. I have worn out my old VHS copy, so this new transfer looks like a hi-def signal compared to the VHS verison, and sounds like a super audio cd. Haha. Only disappointment is the disc art, there is none. It has that standard Warner catalog title grey look to it. I don't really care though.
Just so happy to have one of my all-time favorite films in my collection now!

I had no idea this was coming out this week. I thought Digital Eyes cancelled my preorder when the date was changed and I had given up. I was so happy to get the shipping notice and the DVD today. Another one of my favorite movies scored on DVD. Excellent.

what is so great about this movie anyway? i saw it in theaters a long time ago and didn't dig it that much. did i miss something? i admit i hadn't seen his more serious works, like "Rushmore" and "Lost in Translation", because of course they weren't created yet. Do you think my appreciation of those will increase my enjoyment of QC?

no, different movie types.
sometimes tastes change though, so maybe seeing it now again after all those years have past may give you a better apreciation of quick change.

I remember that this DVD was supposed to come out last year, then WB delayed it. It was set to be released today (Feb. 14) but when I looked at Amazon (where I pre-ordered it), it won't ship for 6-11 days... What's the deal? Is WB delaying it yet again? Are there some legal issues perhaps with Murray (who also directed it)?
I also called over to CC and they don't even have it on their release list for the month. Didn't call BB but it's not on their website.

I got mine last week. It had been on preorder for so long that I pretty much forgot it was even coming out - after all the delays. It was a good surprise to get it in the mail. I never did hear why it was delayed the first time.

Has anybody seen this in a B&M store today?

Yeah, I was reading on IMDb that people had already gotten theirs... I'm pissed, lol. I had pre-ordered it, then canceled and pre-ordered again to use the Amazon Prime. Well, maybe it'll still ship later today (unless it's being delayed due to the storms).

I got this in a large batch of review titles from WB late last week, so it's definitely out there. I wouldn't worry about another delay.

It's definitely out there. The shop I frequent has spoken about WB distribution delays due to layoffs, so that could be part of the issue.

I called BB and they did have it so I just cancelled my Amazon order... Works out anyway as I get a few rewards points.
