 Just want to know why they released all the Phantasm flix except part 2?? Any ideas. Also where should questions like this go?

Anchor Bay doesn't have the rights to Phantasm II and whomever has them apparently interested in giving them up. I think it might be Paramount? If you're willing to fork out the moolah and you can play Region 2 PAL discs you can always buy a copy of the UK release like I did. Anchor Bay in the UK put together a b***hin' set of the Phantasm flicks collected in a spiffy silver ball complete with display stand and detachable little blades. :teddyr:

Universal are the ones being anally retentive, asking AB umpteen thousands of dollars for the rights to a minor cult favorite. Paramount has actually been pretty greedy too with Marathon Man (Available, but despite the wishes of the crew no director's cut) and the first 5 in the Puppet Master series.

Ah, that's right. Thanks Mr. B! I had to do the same thing with the Puppet Master movies too. I don't like anything past the third movie, so I had to buy the first three on UK discs or hit up eBay for people selling them separate from the boxed set. I don't get the friggin' point. If you're not going to do something with the damn licenses, don't be douche bags and sell them for a reasonable price!  :hatred:
