I'm writing a paper on Robinson Crusoe on Mars for a Tech Writing class I'm taking and I need to create a poll for it. So, I'm asking if you could answer my poll question on the film.

If you have a laser disc player, it might be advantagous for you to acquire the Criterion release of this film (the only release to laser disc). Very nice set of extras.

I've never seen it, but it's brought up so often, I'm ready to buy it sight unseen.

I paid $100 for my copy of the Laserdisc. Worth every penny. Gotta love the man and his monkey marooned on Mars.

i would...but only because i am a dvd whore

Great film. Certainly.

ya know, I distinctly remember in a chat somewhere, a long while ago, that when asked when RCOM was coming to DVD, the interviewee from Paramount claimed that 'the negatives where destroyed in a fire', AFTER the Criterion LD was made.-and that was that. No chance of a DVD.
I was always suspicious of that statement. It sounded to me that they just didnt give a damn, or thought it commercailly unfeasable, but didnt want to look foolish in front of movie buffs-
Does ANYONE remember this or am I smoking too much crack these days?

This used to be on TV a lot when I was a kid (in the late 70's). I can't remember it too well, but I'd probably buy it.

I want this bad... and would pick it up on sight... Someone, please release this.

Hell yea

- absolutely!

Di$ney should have tried that excuse for Song of the South.

I cant believe so many voted "no"...

Got the laserdisc (and got a new one of the disc that wouldn't play), and would happily buy it again on dvd.

Who is voting no? And why?

I voted no because the poll asks "Would You Purchase A DVD Release of Robinson Crusoe on Mars?", and I would not. Simple as that. The movie is simply "not my bag, baby".

I voted no, because I don't have the money to waste on DVDs that I would never watch.

I haven't seen the movie in ages but I remember liking it. I would probably buy it depending on the treatment.

I didn't vote, because I'm afraid "no" would unfairly skew the results. It is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid, but having already spent $100 on the fantastic laserdisc complete with audio commentary, I don't think I have any need to own the DVD.

I love this movie. I used to pretend that Jordan almonds were those oxygen pills.

I also voted no simply because I've never seen the movie. It being an older sci-fi(?) movie and there being no nostalgia for me, I couldn't justify buying it. This doesn't mean I wouldn't watch it though.

The poll would maybe be more accurate if it read "Would you watch Robinson Crusoe on Mars if it were on DVD?"

I remember it best for it's use of the Martian Fighting Machines from the George Pal movie (the boomerang shaped bit, with a crystal added and without the metallic "snake" Heat Ray device).

Criterion confirms that this is coming next year in the addendum to their Dec. 06 newsletter: "There are many treasures in store for the new year, including some of our latest acquisitions, such as John Huston’s Under the Volcano, and titles from our laserdisc days, like Robinson Crusoe on Mars."

Wow! nice to see a long "MIA" DVD come to fruition! and coming from CC should please alot of pissed off fans and lovers of this film.

Sounds as if the Laserdisc extras will be ported over - anyone have a list of those Laserdisc extras?
