Title: Flash Gordon DVD
Post by: Susan on April 21, 2007, 02:12:46 PM
Can i just completely VENT about how irritated I am this movie has not been re-released on DVD? Does anyone know if there is any intention to? Why would they have a special anniversary edition in Europe only?

I really want this DVD, and I do not want to shell out $93 or even $40 (that's ridiculous) as badly as I want it. Those are the going prices on Ebay/Amazon. What's crazy is Netflix or amazon do not even carry it for rental.

There has got to be a petition out there or something....

I can only suggest what's brought me luck in the past:
     Look in the back pages of European publications like "Fortean Times" magazine -- some US releases that were also released in Europe under other Production imprints have gotten "official" runs -- just be sure to specify that you don't want PAL -- though I'm told that some American DVD players can now handle the European coding, or can be tweaked to do so.  Electronica is NOT my forte . . .

They were supposed to rerelease it back in late 2005. I don't know what happened.

Has he trotted out a 30th anniversary box set yet? I'm sure he will by year's end if he hasn't already. :lookingup: :teddyr:
