it's about GD time! VHS copies on ebay are scarce enough. I've been waiting years for the stupid company to release this on DVD. About GD time!

I have had a VHS copy for about 2 years. Last week I burned it to DVD, go figure.

I feel your pain brother....

This is how it goes. You shell out the dough to VHS tapes
through eBay, or spend your own time ripping them to DVD...

...and THEN they come out on DVD.

I figure that we should thank you for using Murphy's Law to
get this released on DVD! ;0)

I did this with The Manitou (a low budget horror flick from the 70s)
and wouldn't you know it, it is finally being release.

I am going to resist the impulse to rip my other OOP VHSes, like
"I come in Peace", "Serial" (where is this Gem?!?), and "Americathon", etc...

I too bought The Manitou and Devil Dog:Hound from Hell from ebay. Devil Dog is out. Oh and The lady in White. Is there any place on line where you can see when a movie is being released?

Looker was added to my Blockbuster Online Queue!! Hoo hoo!! FINALLY!!

It may be out, but forget finding it at Target or Best Buy. The emp I talked to at BB said that the manufacturer of the DVD uses a weird BARcoding system, and as such BB and Target can't enter it into their system. Unless you find it in some other specialty shop, you're relegated to the Net. But for $14-15, who's complaining?

Tanks for the info r02manley! I finally ordered it from Amazon. I could not figure out why BB did not have it.

same here. Amazon. The guy at Best Buy said he got a few calls about it Tuesday.

Widescreen great, Commentary track great, but where are the deleted scenes t.v. ran explaining why the models are being killed? How could Warner drop the ball after all this time? The footage is around how hard would it have been to included it as a supplement.
