Just re-released in the UK (it's a BFI release and they always use the best available prints), though you've probably got the USA edition by now...

Though I'd shop around other British/European DVD sellers as you'll probably find it cheaper.

I got the movie on netflix.

Ignore my previous posting on this thread. The UK DVD is censored for sexualized child nudity (which is odd as our 1998 VHS edition is not).

The director told the BBFC that it wasn't really his son and was an actor over 18; the bbfc bought that in 1998 but not for the DVD version.

These films make SWEET SWEETBACKS BAAADAAASS SONG look like a sunday picnic!

I bought it from circuitcity.com for about $14.oo (ended up pawning it, though)
