Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Does anyone own any canceled DVDs? I'm not talking about Out-of-print dvds, I'm talking about maybe buying the DVD early before release date and then the DVD gets canceled, pulled off the shelves, and/or delayed for some reason.

I had the Blades Of Glory Blu ray when it was ultra rare.

I have the I Know What You Did Last Summer DVD with the Kevin Williamson quote on the cover that was removed.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

- Codename: Kids Next Door - Sooper Hugest Missions: File Two
Last I head the release was canceled but I picked it up last year at Ross for $4.99. I have never seen it anywhere else either. A great find for me! I love that show!
And of course there are DVDs I own that were messed up (ex: wrong episodes, wrong music, missing something, etc) and needed replacement discs. I never send back the messed up discs as I see them as collectors items. I have...
- Popeye The Sailor: Volume Two - 1938-1940
- Tom And Jerry: Spotlight Collection
- He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe: Volume One
I think that's it...

Huh? What quote?

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Little Shop of Horrors with the alt. ending i believe was a cancelled, but some got out release.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the BCI version of The IT Crowd: Complete First Season (sent out for review copies but never commercially available) which includes a couple extras that the MPI version doesn't have.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

There were some copies of the original release that said "From The Writer of Scream" at the top of the front cover, but Miramax sued Sony to have it removed.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

2019 After the Fall of New York (pulled to remove the commentary)
Kill Baby Kill (Dark Sky's version)
Ed Wood
The Flesh Eaters (Retromedia's uncut version with extras - supposedly only 50 copies exist)

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the original pressing of The Omega Man that was never officially released, but was accidentally shipped with the later re-issue.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I see stuff like that on DVD's all the time, what were their grounds?

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

More info on this please?

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I bought Star Trek Generations - Special Collector's Edition the morning it was originally released, with the insert listing the trailers as included bonus features. These were all yanked very quickly and replaced not with DVD's including the trailers, but with inserts that no longer listed them.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the canceled 2-disc "The History Of Beavis & Butt-head" DVD set.....apparently Mike Judge did not approve of this set and it was recalled only like a week or so before it was supposed to hit store shelves, never to be officially released....some of them still leaked out though (mostly in Canada), it has some cartoons on it that were not on the three official B&B "Mike Judge Collection" volumes....

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Was there anything different from one pressing to the next?

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Not sure, the only thing I could find was this blurb on IMDB regarding the trailer which apparently had the same issue.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

It's been reissued since, but I snagged several of the recalled Boomerang discs from Borders.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

The Song Remains The Same-got yanked immediately because of rights issue on one of the features. Reissued without this special feature.
Countess Dracula/Vampire Lovers-got yanked because disc has european version of Countess Dracula but back cover had PG rating. Reissue has R rating.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I grabbed this, too. I'm sure it isn't worth anything, but it is a bit of a geek trophy to me for some reason.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Re: The Omega Man. At this point, all I can remember is that it was announced, cover art was released and the discs were even pressed, and then it was canceled at the last moment. Sometime later, it was re-announced with new cover art (and possibly new special features), and when it came out, some stores (I know Borders, since that's where I got mine) had the two versions on the shelf side by side. I also remember it was fairly close to Christmas as it was one of those gifts I picked out for my wife to give me. I know there was some discussion on the the forums back then, but it's so long ago that my google-fu isn't turning up anything specific.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Ya, same kind of thing happened to the WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH/MOON ZERO TWO disc, because they had a G rating on the case for DINOSAURS and it was the uncut UK version with big naked cavegirl breasts. In this case, though, Warners just discontinued it completely instead of revising the rating. The first SWAMP THING release with the uncut euro-version was out for quite a while, but was then pulled for a couple of years after someone complained, but then it was finally reissued only in its shorter PG form. SLEEPAWAY CAMP box-set (with the unauthorized red cross box art) was pulled, but was also out on shelves for a while beforehand.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I think the only difference was that the 'canceled" version was a flipper with the FS and WS versions on the opposite sides, whereas the 'released' version with the white cover was single-sided with just the widescreen version.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Was it on the cover as well or just the insert? Interesting that the ST VI Collectors Ed didn't have an insert but originally Generations did.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Cover; there was no insert as such. Sorry for the confusion; I'm used to music, where the paper in the back of the jewel case is the "rear insert" and the front of the package is the "booklet." Star Trek V was the last of the series to receive a booklet insert.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the Shawshank Redemption set with the book and cd. Not sure how rare or valuable it is though.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I know LE FEMME NIKITA TV show Vol 2 got yanked ASAP, and came out about a year later, something to do with music clearence. Not sure if they corrected it or not.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I remember seeing them side by side at Tower records, and being torn between the two... I thought the pulled version had an additional feature that wasn't on the other, and vice versa, there had to be a reason other than flipper that I was torn... but I don't remember.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Same here. I didn't know it got re-issued, though.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Wasn't this one yanked or on the shelf for a very short time:

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

The blurb actually said "From the CREATOR of Scream," which was the source of the contention. Miramax felt the term "creator" referred to the director, Wes Craven. Sony felt the term "creator" referred to the writer, Kevin Williamson.

The court apparently subscribes to the "auteur theory" that the director's the "author," or creator, of a film, so sided with Miramax.

If Sony had used the blurb "From The Writer of Scream" from the get-go, there wouldn't have been an issue.

Also, The original DVD was recalled not because of the cover, but because it contained the original trailer, which used the "creator" blurb in it:

BTW, I'm not sure what the limit of who the term "Maker" can refer to. The recent horror movie The Thaw has the blurb "from the makers of the Evil Dead Trilogy."
http://www.amazon.com/Thaw-Blu-ray-V...dp/B002I41KLE/

However, neither the writer/director nor any of the producers had anything to do with that trilogy, as far as I can tell. IMDB can't find a link either:

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I gotta check mine. Is the only difference in the recalled version the "When Carol Met Larry (Short)"?

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Not yanked...it was available for a little while, but Rhino lost the rights to GI Joe soon after it was released and so it went out of print....they were never able to released Season 2 Part 2 and there were 15/16 episodes or so that went unreleased on DVD for years until Shout put out the complete series set this past summer....

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Ed Wood

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

Raimi and Tapert are the guys behind Ghost House, and The Thaw is a Ghost House Underground release. I believe all of the Ghost House releases say the same thing.

I have the recalled Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Collection box set with the sex-line "bumper sticker" on the top of the artwork.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I also have the Sleepaway Camp box set with the Red Cross logo.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" DVD with the complete trailer, but without the "Creator of Scream" line on the front cover. I have "P2" on HD-DVD, which was printed but not put out for sale after the format's death was announced- Ebay sellers seemed to have gotten all of them. I also got "Taking Lives" on HD-DVD from an Ebay seller, this also wasn't put out for sale, not sure why.

I got the Little Shop of Horrors recalled version at Borders- a couple weeks before the reissued version came out, the old disc showed up at a few of their stores.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I've got the Mystery Science Theater Set #10 with Godzilla vs. Megalon in it. Soon after release the set was recalled when, if I remember correctly, Toho alerted Rhino that they didn't have the rights to release the Godzilla film. I also bought the limited release of the single disc (The Giant Gila Monster) that Rhino used as the replacement in later releases of Set #10.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the DVD of Ed Wood that was recalled 2-days before release.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the Ed Wood that supposed to come out in like March of 04 but was recalled before release date. Found 2 copies of it at a store that was notorious for putting things out early. I never would have paid $30 for that movie alone, but when I heard it was recalled I snatched that up in a heartbeat. It supposedly has a featurette that wasn't supposed to be on there. I never opened it.

I also have that Star Trek: Generations that lists a Theatrical Trailer.

And I have the recalled Sleepaway Camp Red Cross box set. Nothing is different than what you can get now other than the Red Cross was removed from the box cover. It also has the Best Buy exclusive 4th disc.

Re: Does anyone own any canceled or delayed DVDs?
 

I have the Ed Wood DVD that was recalled (like most people on here).

Funny enough, I bought it at the Virgin Megastore on the Champ Elysees when I was traveling in Paris at the time.
