Very Funny!

That was exactly the same question I was asking myself just before I saw this topic. lol

reply

Yes - this very funny movie should be on dvd!

reply

I don't understand. This is has got to be the most underrated comedy of all time! It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen yet it gets no credit and the only copies of it you can find are out of print VHS copies!!! It makes no sence. This is truly an anomoly!

I loved this movie the first time i saw it, and I rate it as one of my all-time fav. movies!I mean Martin Short and Danny Glover are the perfect pair (of course,not forgetting Glover and Mel Gibson.)It just makes sense to have it on dvd, it would be a great public service to all who adore this movie!

I was just a second ago like... i have to get the dvd to this movie I haven't seen it forever... so i go to amazon and what, no dvd!? that sux

reply

I agree with those who say this is a very underrated movie. It was hysterical and I would own it in a heartbeat. What with all the junk that's been released on DVD, I don't understand why this one hasn't.

My only thought as to a rights issue is that it is based on a French film. Perhaps the studio no longer has the rights to release copies of the remake without renewing their agreement. Seems kind of silly as no one makes any money with no DVD, but those sort of arrangements can get very involved and complicated.

I was wondering why I couldn't find it on Amazon... Hmmm. This and Rocketman have got to come out on DVD!

I recently stumbled across a listing for this movie on the tcmdb.com website. It turns out that they offer a place for you to vote for this movie to be released on dvd. If you read their F.A.Q. regarding the voting, they state that they send the information to major production and distribution companies. There is also a ranking at the bottom of the poll which ranks the movie against other films that have yet to be released on dvd. If you are interested in owning this film on dvd, I would suggest visiting the link below and voting for it to be released on dvd. You have to enter an email address, but it doesn't really matter if it's a real one. So vote as often as possible because the closer the ranking gets to #1, the better the chance will be of getting this movie released on dvd. You can find the voting poll on the right side of the page.

Again here's another one agreeing with the rest of you. This film needs to be released on DVD. Martin Short is hilarious in it and Danny (Murtaugh) Glover does great as well. I guess we need to start a petition or something, I mean Universal probably has all their other titles released why not this one. Anyway just to talk about the movie for a second, I love how GLover makes Short's character feel like he's in charge at the beginning. ***1/2

-Actually now to think about it, maybe Anchor Bay can release it. They've come through on movies like The Pirate Movie and what not!!
