Guest Report post Posted June 3, 2002 does anyone have they live on dvd with roddy piper. I saw that shit on eBay for $70 and the auction didn;t end yet. WHAT THE FUCK? Can anyone explain, also are they going to re-release? Thanks --Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 3, 2002 That usaully means the DVD became some sort of collectible. The first releases of Little Shop of Horrors and Re-Animater became $80(and up) DVDS on ebay because both were recalled because of content the DVD maker didn't have the rights to. I haven't heard anything like that about They Live yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 3, 2002 I have They Live on DVD. It was released by Image, in widescreen, with no special features. It cost about $40(Cdn) brand new, and that was a couple of years ago. I haven't seen it anywhere since. It's wierd, cuz a bunch of other Image DVD's ended up in bargain bins for like $10, including Prince Of Darkness, Ghost Story & Bordello of Blood. I guess they stopped making They Live DVD's after the initial release sold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted June 3, 2002 I just hopped over to Amazon to check this out, and the movie is indeed out of print. That's nothing unusual. The unusual part is that they're charging anywhere from $90 to $180 American for secondhand copies. WTF?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted June 4, 2002 I hope this means a re-release is coming soon. Then again, there doesn't seem to be a re-release planned for Scarface, which faces the same deal... Image's releases are weak. They Live is a great movie, and they didn't even throw on a trailer, if I remember correctly. Yet, they still charge regular price for it... they did this for another "cult classic" dinosaur film as well, from the '60s... the name escapes me, but I would've bought it but they wanted $30 for it, and no special features for an 80-minute movie? Forget that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted June 4, 2002 Roddy Piper and John Carpenter recorded a commentary track for the new release of They Live a couple of months ago. I know it's scheduled for a Region 2 Special Edition of sorts, but I don't know about Region 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 4, 2002 how can i find out if it's region 1 as well? --Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I can say is, they BETTER make it Region 1... why does Region 2 get all the good stuff? We still haven't seen any "Futurama" or widescreen "Angel" or Chopping Mall discs Stateside.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 7, 2002 I think the reason Region 2 gets some good stuff long before us has something to do with copyright laws. I don't think the laws are as strict over seas and it makes it easier to release some stuff. Now don't quote me on this, but i seem to remember reading that.
