remember when this movie first came out in vhs


& it came with two decoder markers? one was clear, and the other one was red, and if you scribble over where you used to clear "invisable" marker, it would show up another color? those were so cool.

Omg, I remember those! Mine didn't work, though =( My brother eventually got them to work for me, though. I didn't have much use for them, though, sadly.

That's all I remember as a kid in the carrage holding the orange tape! haha! Such a good memory!

oh man the orange tape!! with a yellow label, if my mind serves me correctly. i love this movie to bits, i dont care how many flaws it has. dont remember those decoder pens.. hmm.. this is what happens when you grow up in asia and ask your uncle in canada to send you stuff over :O

* Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?*

I own the tape. But it's boxed up somewhere in my garage. I might've gotten the markers. But I must've lost them.

i still have the vhs. it's literally right by my tv now, i think that and ace ventura 2 were the only vhs's i would still watch now. i even had my vhs player still hooked up to just watch those 2 movies. but i just got the dvd now i ordered it off of bestbuy.com lol. it was seriously my favorite movie as a kid. i remember sitting in front of my house writing in my notebook "man walking by. lady with a baby walking by." and i thought i was a total spy.

I still have my markers!
But they don't work anymore, probably becuase I used them to much back then. lol

reply

I went to Big Lots yesterday and I found the same orange covered VHS with the 2 decoder markers! =]
It was $2.00 and I wanted to buy it because I lost the tape years ago, and the pens don't work anymore =D

reply
