Only £17.99! the poor will be delighted, by the way, have you met the poor..........
Never heard of it.
I already have the film on Blu Ray and and I was really dissapointed with it. The film itself is still good fun after all these years and well worth a place in my collection, but the transfer to Blu Ray was shocking for all the wrong reasons, so if there was ever a film crying out for a restoration then this is it.
So, I have a dilemma... Do I stick with my old version and imagine I still have a VHS player every time I watch it, or do pay again for a film I already own in the hope the restoration is to a standard to justify the cost?
