Come on, the Walmart $5.50 bin is filled enough as it is.

That being said, I would buy the movie... when it's in the $5.50 bin.

It's been on DVD for years (for those who don't mind visiting DVD sites in other countries that is).

There doesn't seem to be a great transfer sadly. It is anamorphic 2.35:1 in the UK.

Very strange as it seems to have multiple distributors. I would have thought this was a Warner title for the US (when they bought part-rights from Cannon (now with MGM)). Maybe not.

I'm sure it would be a big seller if it got a special edition release.

i once spent an entire afternoon watching a Stallone movie marathon consisting of Over the Top, Cobra, Rambo III, and Tango & Cash. it was a glorious thing to behold.

Thanks,
I must admit that there are a few that werent designed by me,
like Kangaroo Jack, DC Cab, and Munchausen,
but pretty much the rest were my designs, including Pianist.

Sure beats the normal DVD cover, i think.
