This is by no means a great movie, but I've noticed the Special Edition version is so hard to find. Best Buy in my area doesn't have it (they are fully stocked on the old bare bones version) same goes for Circuit City. I looked it up on Amazon.com and they have a little disclaimer saying that only 4 are left.

Also, the funny thing about this is that most Columbia titles are usually reduced in price to 14.99 or less a year or so after their release (like SWAT, Once upon a time in Mexico, Tears of the Sun) However, this release is 2 years old and has remained in the 19.99 to 20 something range. Is it just me or is their something weird with this?

i think you answered your own question!

if you have a borders or suncoast close they can order it for you. i see these used for 10-12 bucks all the time.

The Matrix sequels weren't great movies either, but you can find them everywhere, even at drugstores and supermarkets.

In any case, it doesn't seem to be *that* hard to find. Just about every online store has it in stock, it seems.

Now, why doesn't Best Buy? Well, it's a catalog title, and probably doesn't sell a whole lot, so they're unlikely to re-order stock for it.
