THERE IS A BARRIER THAT SEPARATES THE KNOWN FROM THE UNKNOWN ...

Enter a world filled with sorcerers, powerful supernatural forces and bizarre enchantments as the famed Marvel Comics superhero Dr. Strange comes to life to battle the forces of evil.

A modern hospital may seem worlds apart from the days of ancient sorcerers. But for psychiatrist Stephen Strange (Peter Hooten, Orca) and his patient Clea Lake (Eddie Benton, Sledge Hammer!), this is where those worlds collide ... and the nightmare begins! Nothing Stephen Strange learned in medical school could prepare him for an attack by an evil sorceress from the "fourth dimension," Morgan le Fay (Jessica Walter, Arrested Development), a villainess who plans an invasion of unimaginable evil on Earth. Chosen by an ancient guardian of the spirit world to learn the mystic arts to defeat Morgan and safeguard the Earth, Stephen Strange must take the place of the Earth's last sorcerer. Come along for a fantastic adventure into the "fourth dimension" with ... Dr. Strange!

Will have to look for this one on eBay.

klauswhereareyou · 04-20-2022, 11:39 AM

I'll pick this one up. Hopefully someday someone can get the rights cleared up and put out the 70's Spider-Man live action show.

joltman · 04-20-2022, 11:59 AM

Nice! I wonder if they could release the Captain America TV movies on BD as well, they were produced by the same company as Dr. Strange.

McCrutchy · 04-20-2022, 12:26 PM

I'm guessing this one will go quickly, for fairly obvious reasons, so I put my order in with Cockfighter.

Rayjg · 04-20-2022, 01:03 PM

They being sneaky with this artwork or does no original artwork exist for it?

The cover is identical to Shout's 2016 DVD version:

which was touted as "newly remastered from the original film elements" at the time, so this should look decent at least.

Honestly, I'm surprised Shout haven't changed the cover. The actor credits are very small and putting Jessica Walter on the cover and making her name bigger (along with Hooten's, obviously) are both good ideas. The image Shout is using looks like how an American distributor would market Doctor Who, rather than Doctor Strange.

Would be nice, but much more likely we'll see the CAPTAIN AMERICA TV movies before then, since like Dr. Strange, they're owned by Universal and they have a licensing deal there.

deltatauhobbit · 04-20-2022, 06:38 PM

Sweet! Didn't think I would see this getting a blu-ray release even with its name recognition now. Glad to see I was wrong since I found this 70's TV movie pretty enjoyable.

I'll have to do a marathon of this, Doctor Mordrid and Doctor Strange (2016) before the new movie comes out.

El Sleezo · 04-20-2022, 06:43 PM

Got this and Communion, which is apparently close to selling out. Wanted The Cockfighter more, but I think this will go faster, for obvious reasons.

Mackattack57973 · 04-20-2022, 06:49 PM

Got my copy. Must be close to selling out of the 1,500 copies because the website was super slow when I was trying to get my order in

VanKilman · 04-20-2022, 07:15 PM

I have the DVD version that SF released a few years ago, which I enjoyed more than I expected to. I'll be upgrading to the Blu.

Spooked · 04-20-2022, 08:17 PM

Wow. Shipping notification already. I like this new Shout!

They usually ship by the next day as long as long as they have the all of the items in your order in stock.

erikstoryteller · 04-20-2022, 11:48 PM

I ordered this due to my love of TV movies and Eddie Benton (aka Anne-Marie Martin).
