Saw this in Best Buy the other day with 2009 date on the back I think in an amaray case (opposed to a snapper)
amazon.com indicates a release date of 6/2/09 and also states anamorphic...

Can anyone confirm this is true?
I'd buy this in a flash if was indeed anamorphic
great, underrated comedy

also wish spies like us, dead men don't wear plaid, the hitcher, and young guns 2 would get an anamorphic release

I'd love for an anamorphic 'Spies' and 'Amigos.' Two of my favorites that I never watch because they look like shit.

this is anamorphic in the steve martin triple feature.

the hitcher is anamorphic: http://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=3447

I doubt it's anamorphic. Prob just a re-issue in a new case. I really wish they'd give this film the full-on SE it deserves... on BD.

Damone

Wow i did not know that about YG2 and The Hitcher, could have sworn one of these or both were non anamorphic.
I actually did see that Steve Martin triple feature but I already own the 26th Anniversary SE of The Jerk, wish DMDWP was released as a separate anamorphic disc

GenPion

Likewise. If this is anamorphic I'll buy it ASAP.

Someone confirm....

I'll look for it. I have never seen it, so I'm willing to buy it for the first time.

chuckd21 and droidguy1119, I bit. It's the same non-anamorphic DVD in a keepcase. I basically would have been better off just flushing a $5 dollar bill down the toilet. Love the film, it's a classic but HBO video does not have the correct disc info on the back cover. If you still have it in a snapper case, than this should be a keepcase only upgrade, nothing new or different about it.

Living Dead

It's really mind boggling that studios keep making this same mistake over and over.

tylergfoster

Well, kind of. Unless you mean the packaging mistake (which, I suppose, has been made repeatedly), I wouldn't call continuing to issue the same old disc in a new case a "new" mistake.

Living Dead

I meant labeling something anamorphic that isn't, to the point where movie buffs like ourselves have to start posts like this one just to make sure we're not getting screwed.

Thanks for taking one for the team.
