It's finally happening…!

More Walter Matthau on Blu-ray is always good news.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d live to see the day. Joined this site a few years ago specifically to comment about this. Wake up every morning looking here for an announcement.

Thank you, Via Vision/Imprint!

Ordering 2, one to play, one to enshrine.

Can anyone please tell me if this release will be playable in the USA?

All of the Imprint range has been region free so far, and I see no reason why that will change any time soon.

I sent them an email asking and they responded by saying yes. I just ordered mine and Breakdown too.

How did I just now hear about this? This is a favorite of mine.

houseca · 01-11-2021, 09:23 AM

Viavision has extremely expensive shipping to the U.S. Is there anyone else that carries this and Breakdown? I checked Diabolik and so far no good.

Edit: I see Deep Discount has a listing up for it:

Diabolik won't list the Impact/Via Vision titles on their pre-order page. They will only list them when they actually have stock in hand. So, you will need to keep checking back to their "latest arrivals" page when it gets closer to release date.

I ended up ordering them at DD with 10% off code PLUNGE. If they show up on Diabolik, they will likely be $30 each and a better deal. I will then cancel my DD order and go with Diabolik.

They are really expensive but to me they were worth it as I really want these movies. Plus I didn’t want to miss out on the slip covers as I believe are going to be limited.

Same here. I've been wanting this movie on BD forever. The LE slipcover is just the cherry on top.

tucker_cleveland · 01-12-2021, 01:03 AM

I'm dying to get my hands on a copy. The more 70s titles Imprint release, the better.

zw94 · 01-14-2021, 04:55 PM

Any chance we can get the sequels? I just want Breaking Training.

Yeah, unfortunately that’s the only one of these movies that I didn’t like.

Aunt Peg · 01-16-2021, 07:28 AM

Were the sequels to The Bad News Bears even shown in Australia in any form. I know they weren't released at the cinema. The first film only ran ONE WEEK in Sydney back in 1977 - baseball themed films didn't get bums on sets but I don't recall the sequels even getting VHS released but they may have turned up on TV or Foxtel?
