Out of print?


Why is this film out of print? I would think it significant enough to remain in print. I was looking to see if a BluRay of this film was available only to find that even the DVD is not anymore. In fact, the cheapest DVD copy on Amazon is $50 and it goes up from there. It makes me feel good to own a copy, I guess. I had no idea it was worth anything more than about five bucks. Still, not selling.

It's been a couple years since the OP, but amazon.co.uk has been selling brand new Region 2 DVDs of this for a while now, direct from Amazon as well as from their affiliated private sellers. I bought mine for $5. They were going for 3 pounds just before Christmas.

Checking eBay, I've noticed people are paying $40 - $70 for the Region 1 release. That's insane! I paid $40 for a multi-region DVD player AND the R2 DVD.

People really need to get with the program and go multi-region. It's saved me an immense amount of money, and allowed me to see films that simply aren't available in R1.

I got the dvd for like $8 on Ebay but it was the Korean Release and parts of it was edited (some nude scenes blurred, I know bummer right?!?). Other than that if you want to see it you know what is going on.

I own a UK DVD of it, no recollection of where I ordered it though or how much it cost. But I'm sure it's easier to find in the UK than the US.

I forgot where I am.

Thanks to amazon.co.uk it is easy to obtain on both sides of the pond...cheap too

If you are interested in just watching the movie instead of buying it, it is currently available on Netflix streaming.

You can buy it or rent it (streamed to your computer) on Amazon Instant Video.

I just bought the VHS for a buck. Now I expect a lot of replies harping about how "irrelevant" VHS is.

ALERT: This is streaming on Netflix now. I remember trying to buy the DVD 5 years ago and not being able to because the cheapest one was $35-40, and I'd just splashed out that much on the new Criterion re-release of Salo. So I had to rent it from my university's library.

But last night I got to watch it on Netflix! :D Downside is a bunch of casual Netflix watchers gave the movie low ratings because they didn't understand it, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of watching it again!
