I bought the current DVD just five days ago, so I guess it's time to go over to eBay.

Instead of doing another remake of this film, it would be cool if they could do a "Freddy vs. Jason" type movie between The Fly and Mosquito Man.

Now, that would be worth paying to see!

Great news. Didn't really care for II, but I'll be salivating for that original SE!

I'm glad the retail is going to be $19.99 rather than the $26 that was previously mentioned.

Nay--Brundlefly versus Shelob from LOTR: The Return of the King! Yeah, that's the ticket!

This is a bit of a dilema for me. I've never been a HUGE fan of part 2, but gladly accepted it as part of the double feature. Now that I'm dumping the original bare bones and double-dipping... do I get the 2nd one too? Damn... I'm honestly not sure. I'll probably wait on it and see if I miss it. But, knowing me, I probably will.

That's a sure sign of addiction. Worrying that you don't have the new SE of a thoroughly mediocre film that you don't even watch often.

If it were me, I'd be relieved to be getting rid of something I didn't care for. But who knows...you never know when you might be sitting around and suddenly feel the urge to watch The Fly II. Might as well buy it (especially for only $13.99).

hooray! we all finally get to see the famous "monkey-cat" deleted scene!!!

the only reason I liked the sequel was the very pretty cool head squashing by elevator scene.

DVD Answers is reporting a one week delay for these sets:

http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?...6857&n=1&burl=

They'll now be released October 4th. Could a mod change the thread heading?

I haven't seen this film in years- always one of my favorites but I had forgotten about it. Special Edition sounds good, can't wait to see it. I remember the effects being plenty gruesome when I was younger - I'm curious to see if they still hold up.

Sequel never did much for me but had the great line "I'm getting better"

Since I have put off getting either of these I will be picking up both. Obviously the first was great but I enjoyed the second enough to buy it as well (assuming a reasonable price).

I'll be picking up both of these as well. Haven't seen them both in quite a while and the special features sound like they're worth picking it up.
