This is the biggest film tragedy to date; It's a brilliant film that ...to date, remains stuck "on the shelf". The studio never released it in 1984 in theaters. Never released it on video in any format.   Somehow, a good copy has been managed to be digitized and circulated (probably via cinemageddon)  If you find a copy, WATCH IT IMMEDIATELY!  Tom Schiller utalized many aspects of film making (writing, editing, acting, music...) to direct a fun, unique prospective on life.

The only reason cited by Paramount (to this day) is "legal reasons"    Nothing specific, just "legal reason"   There cannot be any disupte over music as most of the music they used had to be either owned by Paramount or in public domain at the time.   None of the actors had anything bad to say about working on it.  So it baffles me as to what the "legal" reasons are.

In any event, if you know someone (besides me) who has a copy, or know how to find it... by all means, find it and watch it with many friends as possible.

Movies like this fascinate me. Like, who would have thought there was an unknown and unreleased movie with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, made at the time of Ghostbusters. Another scifi comedy with them in it would have drawn huge revenue back then. Thank you for pointing this out, I'd never heard of this film until now.

The circulating copy is from a TV broadcast most likely. It was shown on TV quite a bit, even here in Germany. The "legal reasons" statement is weird indeed though. According to wiki it is owned by Warner Bros.

Nothing Lasts Forever is also the title of the book that Die Hard was based on: strange that the book is way more violent than the film.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
