I haven't seen this since the early 90's. I wonder if it still holds up.

What an announcement! Definitely getting this even just for nostalgia purposes. This was a staple for my brothers and I when we were younger.

Damn, my buddy just passed away, and he always enjoyed this movie. He'd bring it up all the time. I'll pick it up for him, I suppose, and check it out again.

When I saw this post my first instinct was to text him this...

Dragon78 · 11-26-2022, 04:10 PM

I don't remember this one at all.

Wow, never thought we’d see the day when this came. My Dad loves this movie, and still brings it up once every couple months. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid. Great pull Kino!

meremortal · 11-26-2022, 07:28 PM

Really funny movie, in my opinion.

movieben1138 · 11-26-2022, 07:30 PM

This announcement has been the highlight of an otherwise pretty awful day for me. I love this movie and I'm looking forward to upgrading my DVD. Thanks, Kino!

CSM-1990 · 01-14-2023, 10:32 AM

This is probably my favorite comedy movie and I hope this new release comes out great.

GrouchoFan · 01-14-2023, 07:45 PM

I really loved this movie the first time I saw it....when it was called A Night at the Opera!

I'll pick it up on sale at some point.

startrekkin58 · 04-07-2023, 09:18 PM

Anxiously awaiting this release. I have fond memories of watching this on vhs as a kid lol

Brain Donors (1992)
• Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative
• NEW Audio Commentary by Director Dennis Dugan, Moderated by Film Critic and Author Lee Gambin

From the Zucker Brothers, the brilliant brains behind the Airplane! and Naked Gun films, comes an outrageous laughfest featuring the zaniest screen screwballs since the Brothers Marx—the Brain Donors! High society meets high hilarity when rich widow Lillian Oglethorpe (Nancy Marchand, TV’s The Sopranos) hires fast-talking, ambulance-chasing lawyer Roland T. Flakfizer (John Turturro, Barton Fink) as her legal advisor. His first assignment: to fulfill Mr. Oglethorpe’s dream of founding a ballet company. Flakfizer recruits two unable assistants: Jacques (Bob Nelson, Kindergarten Cop), a Harpo-like jack-of-all-trades and master of none; and Rocco Melonchek (Mel Smith, The Princess Bride), a cab driver moonlighting as a pool cleaner, liposuctioner and toupee salesman. What ensues is an off-the-wall, fall-down-funny assault on culture and good taste, as the Brain Donors make merry while driving everyone else mental! Deliriously directed by Dennis Dugan (Problem Child, Happy Gilmore).

I'd never heard of this movie until I saw the thread for it. I clicked on it thinking (hoping) it was an early 90's horror effort in the same vein as Brain Damage, Brain Scan, etc.

kngtmat · 07-07-2023, 07:53 AM

How I didn't know this was getting released on Blu-Ray until now is amazing. Been so long since I watched it since around the time it was released on VHS & on tv.

Dragon78 · 07-07-2023, 10:38 AM

Never seen this movie, though I am sure I have seen the poster before.

deltatauhobbit · 07-07-2023, 07:43 PM

I remember enjoying the heck out of this as a kid but I fear that it won't hold up as an adult.

Jay H. · 07-07-2023, 07:52 PM

Once the way-too-long opening credits end, this is a very funny movie.

MifuneFan · 07-14-2023, 01:18 PM

Huge delay for Brain Donors..Kino's site now lists a November 14th release date..
