Rad (1986) - 05/11/10 !!!

Could it really be true !? After all these years ?
I expect bare bones for sure and probably a so-so transfer though. Just please no 1.33:1 AR

PRE-ORDER LINK

There is virtually NO info on the DVD but there is a pre-order link and release date of May 11th
I am to assume this is being released by TCM (Turner Classic Movies) ?

WOW ... I thought there would be some reaction to this news ... I thought people here would be all over this.
This is a movie that has been long overdue for release. No more interest?

I really want this on DVD. At least two commentaries, a making of documentary, and deleted scenes. This is a childhood favorite.

At the very bottom, it says 'DVDs supplied by Movies Unlimited'
So going THERE also gives little detail. Think I will try and email to get some info on whats on the disc and all that.

Airborne is available from Warner Archives as a burn on demand.

That's probably gonna be the only option for it. I would get it, but won't pay that much for a burned dvd.

Yeah, that's why I put "official" paying that much for a DVD-R is unacceptable, IMO. But you are probably right, that may be the best we get.

One of the few VHS tapes that I still have, can finally get rid of it.

I can't tell you how many times I rented this movie as a kid. Rode my BMX to the video to rent it weekly.

I can't imagine buying this. I wonder what the odds of Netflix getting this are.

WHAT !!!

As for Netflix, it is listed but not yet available. I'm sure it will be though since it is on the site available to add to your movie list.

I remember watching Rad many times as a kid, I just can't imagine this movie has aged well. Maybe a double feature with Rad and North Shore are in order.

Which studio is releasing this? I can't imagine WB giving it a wide release when Airborne only got the DVD-r treatment

Great news, but, personally, I'd rather see The Dirtbike Kid get a release.

Exactly. This movie, by all appearances, seems to be one of those better left to nostalgic memories, which is why I said I couldn't imagine owning it. Watching it once for shits and giggles, on the other hand, why not?

Lmao....Rod and Rex. This movie is so awesome. Oh, how I would have loved to go ass sliding with Lori Loughlin back then-or hell, even now.

I think the soundtrack alone has made it age well.
I'm bias to this movie though as it came out while I was racing BMX so it was something for 'us'
I have it on my DVR from when INHD showed it and even my kids love watching it.

PEOPLE IT'S FAKE, it's a BOOTLEG

if you're wondering why more people aren't excited about it, it's because it's too good to be true.

don't dump your VHS or Laserdisc copies yet.


the site has numerous bootlegs they sell on dvd

check out

the night the lights went out in georgia, and many others

then look at they reviews, and amazon comments on the dvds.

this thread is like a bad April Fools Day thread
