I sure do know Report To The Commissioner!!!! Michael Moriarty as the hapless cop Beauregard chasing Tony King through Times Square and winding up in the elevator showdown!!! That film is a classic!!! Very hard to find. I find mine at a video store where a used copy was being sold for 3.99. A true bargain!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if they'll be ANY extras....a commentary w/ Roy Scheider, Tony Lobianco &/or Richard Lynch would probably be too much to expect...I hope they don't take the copy from the laserdisc version which I hear sucks bad....

I'm watching it on AMC tonight and the print they're showing is atrocious, so grainy that I had to flip to some other channels to convince myself my television/cable wasn't on the fritz. The DVD can't come soon enough.

Still, that car chase ending in Roy Scheider's near decapitation got the old blood flowing, like it does every time. One hell of an unheralded scene! That was back in the original Gone In 60 Seconds days where the stunt drivers looked truly imperiled.

if anybody checks Video ETA a site that gives info on upcoming DVD releases, they have a picture of the cover art which is pretty cool. It is so great that this film is finally being given the praise it deserves with so much crap out there these days.
