Is there a QUALITY DVD version?
All of the DVD's I've seen of High Risk look like they were dubbed off of a third generation VHS tape. I'd like to find a widescreen decent picture version of it.
sharenope not yet...they all look like crap. All I can say is that at least it is on the dvd format. I am not sure which studio owns the rights as I have seen several different crappy releases of this film. I sure wish someone like "Blue Underground" would get the rights to this title and put out a decent release like they did with "The Final Countdown".
shareI picked up a copy at Wal-Mart for 1 whole dollar on DVD bad quality or not you can't beat that!!!!!
shareI'd pay $30.00 for a quality version in the original Widescreen. From what I've found out this was an "Indie" (independent) film and is in the Public Domain. Because of that anyone can legally burn and sell copies of it.
shareI have both the video and DVD. I love this movie THAT much.
Hell, the tape is of better quality than the DVD.
I can't imagine why anyone would let the copyright on this masterpeice run out.
shareI agree with the previous reviewers here. I’d like to see someone like “Blue Underground” or at least somebody, put out a good, cleaned up version of this. I’d love it to be in Widescreen with some extra’s, but at this point I’d even settle for just a cleaned up version of it in blahish full screen. I’d pay bucks for a good-looking, good sounding version. I’ve had this movie for some time now on dvd but of course it’s a blah looking copy. I came here at IMDB to see if anyone else knew of a better version on dvd (there are several versions floating around). Looks like my question has already been asked by the first poster! Sigh...... Maybe someone knows and can tell us, what is the best of the blah looking versions?
shareHaven't seen the movie since the early 80s, and am wondering something myself about these DVD releases: do they feature "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones when the chopper guys come to the rescue? I have a feeling this has been replaced due to copyright issues. Let me know.
shareSatisfaction is still in there.
shareNot only is there not a good quality version on DVD yet. All of the home video and pay cable versions have been edited quite a bit. Does anyone remember the scene when Lindsay Wagner has an argument with her lawyer? Many of Lindsay's part was edited out from the theatrical version (which makes me sad since I'm such a fan of hers). I saw it several times in the theatre (back in the day when I was an usher) and I remember alot that never made it to home video. I wonder why?
shareI noticed those missing parts where Lindsy Wagner fights with her Lawyer.
I live in Oregon, So does Lindsey.
I wonder if she could be talked into introducing the film ?
I don't hear or see much on her these days.
But I guess she is still in our city.
I wonder if there is still a 35mm print of this film anywhere ?
Probably in very bad shape with serious vinegar deterioration issues.
I'm a Cinemajunkie !
>>I live in Oregon, So does Lindsey. I wonder if she could be talked into introducing the film ?
I was a friend of Bruce Davison at the time he made this film, and I remember him being quite proud of it. I'm sure HE'D be available for a commentary track, also.
