    definately a great film
    now a legal question
    i bought the film LEGALLY from playusadotcom(put it this way so it doesnt create a link) before the film was even released in the UK(was an HBO tv movie that was given a cinema release) now the legal bit i buy the film legally before it is released in the UK am i allowed to sell it on ebay/amazon/at a car boot sale. it is not a pirate but it isnt an official british film either. if you look on the above site there are plenty of films on there that havent yet had a british release.
    In September 1988 i went to Florida on holiday & the video shops were selling TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES video i asked innocently ;-) if they would play on british video players the shopkeeper said no but he could transfer 1 to PAL i said ok i'll have 5 then(film wasnt released in britain til boxing day '88 but had had plenty of pre publicity hype) i gave 3 to neices/nephews kept 1 & sold the 5th for the price i paid for all 5 was this illegal or not
    just 1 of lifes conundrums

    I wouldnt worry about it, we bought loads of dvd's from USA when we were there at christmas before they were even released here. If someone wants to buy it there is nothing stopping them going on Ebay. You bought it legally at the end of the day and may give the UK a kick up the rear to pull up their socks and be more competitive..

    Cant believe how long i have to wait for a film on sky compared to other countries..

    loads of kak
