Amazon.ca indicates that it has the movie on stock but even then is a 5 to 7 week shipping. I don't know why is so hard to find this movie in Canada.

Went to my walmart during lunch yesterday and found it for $9 + change. I had forgotten that it was coming out...

Couldn't find a copy locally, just gave up after 4 different chains and ordered one of DDD. Frusturating, but it will be worth it.

I just watched my copy, and even though I only have a 27" TV in 16:9 squeeze mode, I think it looked pretty good and the audio is more than adequate. I'm happy this finally got a dvd release.

Can't wait for this one, only have seen chunks of it on cable here and there...will be nice to sit down for a whole viewing.

I picked this up at Walmart at midnight last night... the store where I work hasn't gotten it in stock yet due to an assumed release date mix up.

Also picked it up from Walmart. I forgot it was coming out and ran across it today.

Also picked it up from Wal-Mart. :up:

BAH to all of you...

Got mine at Wal-Mart as well, will watch it tonight. Makes me feel old to realize that the movie is 17 (!!!) years old.

how much at wal mart?

I checked my job (Coconuts), Circuit City, Best Buy, Tower Records, and Target...none of which had it in stock. I guess WalMart will be my last resort before ordering it online.

got it at wal mart as well....


noticed something funny...Tobey Maguire at Video Armageddon. Right after they choose the three kids for the finals. They walk outside and Lucas points the gang out...all the way to the left, the kid with the mullet and pink shirt.

he isn't credited...but imdb puts him as "Lucas' goon at video armageddon"


someone screencap this

I was pretty impressed with the video on this. Maybe I am just used to my washed out VHS copy of this but I can't imagine the DVD looking much better than it does. The rest of the DVD is pretty sparse (not even a scene selection) but I'm not complaining.

Ordered it from DDD assuming it would be hard to find, hasn't come in yet though, I ordered it like 2 weeks ago.

Looking forward to upgrading from my VHS and bootleg dvd...

Mine shipped from DDD at the start of the week. I should have it soon.

I noticed one of the kids looked familiar, did not place it as Maguire at the time.

After watching it last night is stands up pretty decent and like others have said, the picture looked better then I might have expected.

walmart didnt have it, guess i am going on DDD to get it. woohoo.

I agree.

It's about $9.50 at Wal-Mart, by the way.

Now I have <b>Flight of the Navigator</b>, <b>The Last Starfighter</b>, and <b>The Wizard</b> (and, I'm sure, a few others that don't come to mind). Any other quintessential '80s family-friendly movies I'm missing?

Cloak & Dagger

Don't forget D.A.R.Y.L. :)

The Goonies
Explorers
Wargames
Labyrinth
Short Circuit
Real Genius
Batteries Not Included
SpaceCamp
Honey, I Shrunk The Kids
The Neverending Story
The Cat From Outer Space (even though it's 1978)

Add The Neverending Story to the list...

I was thinking about picking up Batteries not Included the other day. Does that really qualify or is it more like Cocoon with the old people and whatnot?

But add War Games to the list.

I got it Friday morning... Off the weekend... wheeeee.
