I went last weekend to a "Saturday Matinee (A movie store in a mall)" and asked them about MST3000 the movie. They said that the movie was out of production  , like that the movie wasn't selling, so they stop making copies of it, and quit selling it. I don't know if that is just for thier store, or any where else  , if so then where else could I find this movie, I want it so bad. |

Actually it's some stupid lawsuit between Universal and Image about what they were charging for the DVDs. So MST3K: The Movie, This Island Earth and several other titles have been off the market ever since. There are ways to get them both but....<insert pirate smilie here> |

oh ok, well I might just get a VHS copy on Ebay. There's one right now going for $5.00. They'll probably make their money on the shipping. And I just looked at Amazon and it turns out that that's out of print, too. But they have "sellers" offering copies that start at $15. It's so stupid. |

It doesn't say where you can buy it or if it's NTSC or PAL. |

"There's one right now going for $5.00. "
Yeah, I'm going to try and get that one, and they only have DVD's on Amazon, and they are $134.98, they don't have VHS copies.

Last time it aired on the Sundance Channel, I copied the movie onto DVD+R (in widescreen, too!) I'm surprised that people would pay such outrageous prices for Universal's bare-bones release. If it had any valuable extras on it, sure, but a bare-bones release going for $215? If Universal had any sense, they'd put out a real DVD release of this great title (and This Island Earth, too), but since they don't....  |
