“Big Man On Campus” was a brilliant film, it’s funny, its clever, it’s off the wall, its poignant, it’s my sort of movie, so please, please, please re-release it! I know there is a high demand for this film to be re-released on DVD here in the UK. So when can we expect to see it on region 2 DVD in our UK shops? Kind Regards Olivia
I read on the IMDb message boerd that you wanted a copy of the Hunchback Hairball on dvd. I can supply you with a copy. Only thing is, it's copied from vhs.
Would it be possible for me to buy copies of Big Man on Campus on DVD from you?
I am actually looking for 4 copies of it -- as long as the quality is decent I don't mind that it is copied from VHS.
My 3 brother inlaws and husband have been waiting for it on DVD for years. I would love to give it to them all on Christmas. I know it is soon but is it possible?
hello there olivia nice to read ya comments, but however the original print of the film was burnt in a studio fire which has made it a bit difficult to transfur to dvd.
because the film is so un-heard of,the film company wont invest in cleaning the print up off of the vhs tapes(not worth there time). so...... not a very good chance of this title coming to the dvd format anytime soon.
I have it on dvdr from vhs is anyones wants one contact me, no use waiting for the dvd as it will never be released, as Aaron said above the master was pretty much destroyed and they will not spend the money need to press and distribute this on dvd, they figure it will not sell.

Hey maybe if we petition for release the film company may see the high demand for this movie and see that it would be worth their time . To me this was a great comedy and I wish now that I would have purchased it back when I first saw it.
Just bought a copy of this on VHS and watched it with my daughter who has never seen it before. She loved it!
Here is the explanation of the fact their is no DVD release from the hairball himself
“Thanks for the kind words. What happened to the film is a long, and now old, story. Vestron went out of business before it was released. They had sold off the foreign rights for cash and then no domestic distributor wanted the film if they didn't have a chance of worldwide profits. So, it sat in a vault for a couple of years, then it showed up on HBO, SHOWTIME, etc. -- and then the Disney Channel. Oddly, while I've discovered that the film has a lot of as you say diehard fans, it never had an afterlife nor did any studios contact me either to write another film or act in one. Such is show business. Again, thanks for the kind words.” - Allan Katz (a.k.a. Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga)
Last month I bought this on a completely blank dvd from a site in the US. The casing seemed genuine but home made dvd. Terrible copy too. I paid £12 plus delivery for what looks like a copy of a copy of a copy. Very hazy. However I managed to get a better copy today via torrent. naughty i know but where needs must etc. etc. I'd still rather pay for a good copy though but wouldn't trust ebay after my experience. In fact i wouldn't even try to sell my copy on ebay as I'd be ripping off someone else.
