I finally am watching "The California Kid" ----- Border's Book Store finally got in my DVD copy today. ----- And for just $7.99 I would of paid five times that amount to finally get to see the movie after so many, many years. ----- If anyone is wondering what "Five gallons a buck ten" is It's the amount Nick Nolte charges Martin Sheen for a fill-up just about thirty minutes into the movie. ----- I've got just about twenty minutes left to see the ending of the movie. I know Martin Sheen will win out in the final duel. ----- It's great to see this made for TV movie classic again!!!!! ----- ----- Rusty

Oh, those were the good ol' days where $1.10 bought 5 gallons of gas.

Now we are lucky to pay less than four bucks a gallon. ----- I paid $3.96 a gallon for my last fill-up three days ago. ----- And good news for fans of "The California Kid" it was released on Blu-Ray for just $4.99 last year. ----- ----- Rusty

I need to get this movie.

I want to see Vic Morrow in Hi-Def. ;)

I love his gorgeous blue eyes.

Such a sexy man.

I'm a new Vic Morrow fan :)

Do you ever shop online, corinacarpenter ----- I just checked Amazon.com and they still have "The California Kid" on both DVD and Blu-Ray. ----- Plus the company that released the movie on Blu-Ray is www.timelessvideo.com you might order from them. ----- Your being a new Vic Morrow fan, have you ever seen "Twilight Zone, The Movie" ? Vic Morrow was great in the movie. ----- ----- Rusty

I've seen 'Twilight Zone,The Movie' but only the part he was in. it's kind of hard for me to watch. Too depressing and sad. :(

Sometimes I'll purchase something from eBay or Amazon but I'll check out Best Buy to see if they have 'The California Kid'.

Let us know when you get a DVD or Blu-Ray copy of "The California Kid" corinacarpenter. ----- After your last message I had to watch the movie again. Having not seeing the movie for so many years, it's great to know that I can watch it anytime on DVD and Blu-Ray. Martin Sheen and Vic Morrow are great. ----- ----- Rusty
