Yep it sucks because it's 1 movie on a short list of 5 that I absolutely must have on DVD. The others are The Naked Prey, Going Berserk, Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again, and Race For Your Life Charlie Brown.

Besides The African Queen, and maybe Twilight Zone: The Movie, I'd have to say that this ranks as the strangest movie to have been withheld on DVD for this long. I just don't get why this has been held up for 8 years.

This movie is one of my all-time favorites, but it bombed hard at the box office and since everybody involved has disowned it. It's on my "most wanted" list, but I'm not surprised it's taken so long to come out.

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.

I was just doing a search for info on a release for this title today. I'm suprised that Anchor Bay hasn't tried releasing this movie on DVD especially considering some of the more mainstream titles they've recently released.

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.

Bill Murray didn't disown the film. He showed it and talked about it last year at Elvis Mitchell's class at Harvard and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music retrospective devoted to him.

Hold on to your transfer, you'll need a transfer to re-board.

I'd pay $50 to have this movie on DVD right now. Not to watch, but you know, for kicks.
