I wonder why the Studio hasn't released on DVD that important modern Film Noir?
When the Studio will do the job, I hope they will include audio commentaries by the leading actors and the director--that was his first feature film.
The VHS is still available.
It would be great to get an Elliot Gould/Robert Blake commentary on the DVD. I know the film doesn't have the highest rating (5.6 seems way too harsh) but it's a worthy entry in the 70's buddy cop genre. Along with Freebie and the Bean this is great fun with some very violent action. It deserves a proper DVD release!

amazon.com has it....
shareAmazon has still the old 1990's VHS. But there is no DVD yet!
I don't understand why?
The director, the actors, the music score are very good.

This is a good one, I'll agree to that, but how is it a noir?
shareIt's a Neo-Noir film.

Urick, thanks for the reply.
However, I still fail to see any noir connections whatsoever, and that neo-noir article couldn't possibly be more vague and pointless. Busting isn't noir and, being 35+ years old, it isn't neo, either.
Can someone---anyone---point out several specific elements of this movie that make it qualify as a film noir? If not, just put this bogus wish to rest and accept that it isn't a film noir.
