Viewing Notes

I know this isn’t a great movie, but I absolutely love it. As soon as I realized there was this Australian Blu-Ray I ordered it. Yeah, it appears to be just a widescreen VHS rip, with a tiny bit of up convert, but I’m overjoyed to own a little better, more sustainable, copy of this movie. If you haven’t seen it, seek it out. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a real HD transfer release someday.

Now, if only someone would release RAD…
