Ione Skye was pretty memorable in this one...

I’ve been hoping someone would license it since it started showing up on ScreenPix in HD.

Sad to say, all the Cannon Movie Tales on ScreenPix were still in SD

Great nostalgia for this film. I still have a copy on NTSC Laserdisc. That can hopefully be retired now with a nice HD edition.

I remember Dexter Fletcher mainly for Press Gang, Gamesmaster (after Dominik Diamond) and this film. I wonder what happened to him...?

Any news of a Region B release?

I can retire my old MGM dvd and upgrade.

Got my bluray today and I’m pleased with the transfer, unfortunately the disc skips throughout. Anybody else have similar issues? I’m returning for an exchange.

He was in Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels; that’s the only other thing I’ve seen him in. Love this film.

I know Dexter Fletcher best as Sgt. Martin from Band of Brothers! Cool that he's gone on to be a solid director! Read earlier that he was up for Paul Atreides in David Lynch's Dune!

Where did you purchase it?

Hopefully a lot of stuff new to the format will get released. Still a fair bit of of MGM material not on blu and they aren't part of Movies Anywhere with digital purchases.
