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.

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...

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

It's about $9.50 at Wal-Mart, by the way.
Now I have Flight of the Navigator, The Last Starfighter, and The Wizard (and, I'm sure, a few others that don't come to mind). Any other quintessential '80s family-friendly movies I'm missing?
