Seriously, Get a New DVD of this out NOW!


I can't even find this movie at a video store. Is it that hard to just put it back on dvd? Oh no, a glimpse of nudity, better make sure this goes out of print soon. What a bunch of bs!

And it only costs a few pounds / euros.

There is a new DVD of it on the way, but it looks to be the shorter theatrical cut released in America, not the longer overseas print accidently used in the first DVD release. Why MGM simply didn't change the rating on the package of the previous release (after going to the time and expense of producing that DVD) to reflect the additional, risque content remains a mystery. (Wonder what happened to all those DVDs?) Apparently Blockbuster was instrumental in pressuring the studio to recall the original DVD release. Through sheer dumb luck, I just happened to be in the store the day that first DVD came out and got a copy before the controversy and recall.

Not good enough. At least release the movie in its original form. I don't want a watered down, censored version. I'm tempted to at least see the 91 of the 93 minutes, but I'm still not happy with it. I'll have to track down a VHS copy. Thanks for the reply.

If you don't mind spending the bucks, the recalled DVD does show up on Ebay. (Beware of bootleg copies being sold there, in addition to the actual MGM DVD.)
