Been waiting for Distinguished Gentleman myself.

Don't think I've seen that one??

Hellhound · 12-08-2016, 05:43 PM

John Candy looks super weird on that cover. He looks more like fat Adam Carolla.

Bates_Motel · 12-08-2016, 05:45 PM

Maybe the most remade film of all time. I think this version was the 7th or 8th version of the story, and there have been a couple since.

1. If Walmart lowers the price before it ships (unlikely, but indulge me), will it automatically lower in our order as well?

2. If I order through PayPal, will I get charged now or when it ships?

3. How easy is it to cancel on Walmart? I've heard stories of cancellations not really going through.

Unfortunately not a Universal title. Universal seems to be the only studio releasing catalogue comedies, which reminds me they still haven't released INTO THE NIGHT and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON.

I find it odd, the exclusive is only for one title, Universal usually releases at least 3 or 4 more on the same date, I wonder if they are going to have more catalog releases.

TripleHBK · 12-08-2016, 07:15 PM

Very cool. I'll be grabbing this for sure.

Ray Jackson · 12-08-2016, 07:22 PM

Why didn't he just throw a party for the entire city of New York on day one?

Why didn't he take out 30-day leases on the most expensive mansions available for rent in every city in America?

Why didn't he go the race track and place million dollar bets on the worst horses?

...I would've burned through that money in ten days tops.

"Into the Night" just was released in France. Region B and A compatible.

"Amazon Women on the Moon" is also being released in France, region B only though.

This will probably help Stephen Collins pay for the sexual abuse allegation cases.

Watch the movie, it explains the rules

SammymeBlu · 12-08-2016, 08:10 PM

Hopefully Smokey and the Bandit II is next since it was recently released along side of Brewster's Millions in the U.K.

The rules are somewhat vague as I remember it.

All he said was you couldn't own any assets and you couldn't give the money away.

But he never clearly defined what constitutes giving the money away.

OMG yes!! Into The Night is another one of my childhood favs!! Young Michelle Pfeiffer is stunning!

IIRC he had to use whatever he rented.

He could only gamble 10% of the money. He did that straight off, all on long shots.

Yeah he probably should have done that, but I don't think he realized until late that it'd be so hard to spend the money.

Does anybody know how long this will be Walmart exclusive and if there are any other catalogue titles released the same day?
