Anyone got any info on this release? Any good?

Was looking for other John Candy films and didn't think this had been released anywhere.

Can you please check if the disc works in region A when you get your copy? I would greatly appreciate it.

What a terrible cover!

Good find though. It'll make a fine addition to my Candy collection.

Wow. How the hell did this sneak by?!?

CouncilSpectre · 05-06-2015, 06:39 PM

Well my copy arrived so will put this through its paces later

Just finished watching this.

It IS region-free. Had no problem playing the disc as I switched between regions.

It's also a pretty decent transfer, or at least as decent as a catalogue 80s movie gets. Grain is abundant and fairly consistent, plenty of detail. Colours are natural and I didn't really detect any kind of 'interference'. Pleasantly surprised with this one.

No extras to speak of, which is fine given the price and state of the transfer. There's an English audio track (DTS-HD 2.0), and Dutch subs which can be turned off either in flight or at the main menu.

If you're in the UK then this is less than £10, and is fulfilled by Amazon. It's eligible for Prime, hence you can get it the next day.

All in all this was a great spot, well priced and conveniently supplied, and most importantly isn't too shabby!
