Decent quality from a Chinese rental-only laserdisc with no subtitles, but you can find it cheaper elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>The movie was broadcast on British TV last year uncut with no commercial interruptions or on-screen logos. If you're in the US and you can play PAL DVDs, look for this download. It has definitely been remastered and is a huge improvement over the next best bootleg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-58853088824457127002008-05-29T11:11:00.000-07:002008-05-29T11:11:00.000-07:00I got a dvd, on-line for just $12.00, including sh...I got a dvd, on-line for just $12.00, including shipping.
