I take it from the only other post that there isn't a DVD version of this film yet. Anyone know where I can order a VHS copy? You'd think eBay...

I got mine off eBay. Keep looking. I recommend making a favorite search and having eBay notify you by email if anything comes up. This is hard to find.

P.S. This movie was never release as a mass market video. That means it's a full price movie. For those of you that don't understand, back in the early day of video, you couldn't buy movies for $19.99 like is the standard today. All movies were $80-$100. Later on, a movie price might, and I stress might, drop to a more reasonable price. Then (if I recall correctly) it was the first Batman movie that was released at a mass-market price of $19.99, and people swarm in droves to buy it, making the studios realise that they could make more money in volume if they sold the movie at a fair price. Now we take this price for granted. Well, this movie was never released at a mass market price. Several years ago I found a video store that would order this for me, but it would cost $75.00 retail. I don't know if the film is still in print anymore, so you may not even have this option. I was lucky enough to find my copy on eBay for $25.00.

There's always the LaserDisc format. I happen to own it even though my LD player has gone the way of the dodo. Just a suggestion if you truly want the movie.

Problematically, the Laserdisk is only 109 minutes long, whereas the IMDB places the movie's length at over twice that. Is that a typo or is there a different cut on LD?

The 215 minutes is the original length of the film when first shown in Japan. The export version was heavily edited down to 109 minutes.

Hi,wcook65,

I spent a few years to look for this Heaven and Earth (Ten to Chi to)Movie, in either VHS or DVD. Last week I finally brought one DVD from eBay's [email protected].
Very quick response and delivery from the seller.
Please go and have a look. As well do let other Heaven and Earth fans get to know where they can buy this movie.

Best regards

Alan

Am getting set to record it off of Flix (cable) a subsidary of Showtime. I think it is the 109 minute version, but as it does not come on until 4:30 a.m.
I will have to wait til' tomorrow to see it. It appear's to be playing on Flix often so if U can, check it out. Domo Ari Gato. El Gato!

I don't think there's any versions of the 205 minute cut around on home formats. Japanese DVD runs about 120.

I found a decent bootleg of the Japanese dvd on Ebay. It has English Subtitles, but navagating the menus takes a little practice.
