Tom,what do you mean death bell?..I never heard that the film was that bad even though I didn't care to see it.It was a big hit if I remember right with 'Bwabawa' devotees!..I'm staving..I staving..HA!.

[jspartan]

Name one person on this board who asked for this movie.

Name 'em.

I know some people wanted Howard the Duck and they are getting it. But I have never seen anyone in my life (even die hard Bwabawa fans) ask for this on DVD.

[Nick August]

Well they release even 'Bombs' at some point..the 'Bombs' time has come!.

[jspartan]

Yep...and still we don't get The African Queen.

But you are right, this movie did pretty well at the box office. Sadly, it did not move quickly on store shelves when it was on VHS.

[Nick August]

Yes,many good films like 'African Queen' still not on dvd but lots of junk always gets a release.
