Just one question. Why do you want to buy this movie on VHS at Amazon.com? let face it, Amazone is selling it for like $5.00 and they are really old copys. The movie is 26 year old and the VHS copys are 24 years old. If you buy the rare VHS copys at Amazon, You are going to get some major problems while watching it on VHS. We are talking bad picture with fated color and bad sound full of static, and also some lines on the screen while its playing on your VCR. You are a buying a copy of this movie when it was remaster, and when it went to VHS about 24 years ago. I would wait to buy this movie when it goes to DVD when its been remastered with better sound and quilty picture. Now there is some thing that my money will be worth in the near futer for the DVD. Sorry to burst your bubble there. So here are some other movies like from 23 years ago that I would like to see on DVD when they have been remastered

Top 10 movies that should go to DVD like in a year or 2

1) The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh
2) Hell Angels On Wheels or any 1960s motercycle movies
3) Brewster McCloud
4) Screewballs
5) Personal Best
6) Pure Luck
7) Tributes
8) The Ambushers or any of the Matt Helms movies
9) Mystery Science Theather 3000 The Movie
10) The Love Machine

My Vhs copy Plays like a dream.

if you take care of them they won't go bad.
in fact VHS Tapes has a better self life then DVD.

24 years and the tape is still playable
do you really think a DVD would last 24 years?? or even ten year??
one finger smear on the disc make the different of Playable to non playable.
with a VHS you can handle it any way you want & fix them if need be.& tranfer them to DVD if you want so bad not to ruin the tape.

This is now on DVD, thank god! You can buy it on Amazon now at about $17 brand new. Got it on my wish list, because I loved this film when it first came out.
