Question about - Losin' It (1983) / The Last American Virgin (1982)
Does anybody have the "Totally Awesome 80s Double Feature" of these films, and are they both Widescreen?

Yes, I saw that, but most of those also say The Flamingo Kid instead of Losin It in the description, even the eBay listings.
But I just found a review that answered my question.

"Both films come with full screen transfers, yet Losin’ It is not a flipper with a widescreen version on as is The Last American Virgin. Considering both are R films, the lack of a widescreen version of Losin’ It just doesn’t make any sense and is kind of inexcusable. Granted, that last part I can’t believe I’m writing, but if it’s theatrical, it’s gotta be in widescreen, and I’m guessing 4:3 wasn’t a creative choice for this one."

I believe Losin It was only released Full Screen where as Vigin was released as a flipper, The Double Feature is simply both disc packaged together.

Last American Virgin has the music replaced in one scene, even though there's no mention of it anywhere on the cover. And ironically, the song that was taken out is the first thing heard in the trailer on the disc!

I think I remember The Last American Virgin from it's many showings on HBO back in the day...
****Somewhat of a spoiler**** isn't that the one with a rather depressing ending for a comedy? If it's that one I remember thinking this does not make my favorites list just by the awful ending..lol

The rest of the music (U2, the Police, Journey, Quincy Jones, the Commodores etc) is intact. It has one of the greatest soundtracks, not to mention endings, of all time.

I have it on CED videodisc and the song "Love Action" is there- on the DVD it's replaced with Devo's "Whip It" for the 2nd time. I did hear that the Human League hated the movie when it came out and were mad that their song was included in it without their permission.
But again, the trailer on the DVD starts out with "Love Action" anyways.
