As of now, the price is unknown but I'm looking at between 17-30 for the standard edition and 20-40 dollars for the deluxe edition as a guess-timate. I don't care how much it costs. I'll spend $100 for the deluxe edition if need be. This movie WILL be in my collection if I have to kill someone to get it.

Excellent. Some of the best work Robin Zander(singer from Cheap Trick) ever did. Can't wait to see/hear this one again.

Wow. This is so coincidental that this appears the day HomeStar Runner releases a new Strong Bad Email about an old Limozeen cartoon episode.

I've not even heard of this film, but I guess I'll see it. Sounds pretty good.

God I am so old... I saw that for the first time back in college in the early 80s, it also featured Deborah Harry singing as well...

it was a lot of fun, it should drive the right wing Christians crazy too, especially the last big scene.
