THE WIZARD [Fred Savage]

[Dirt]

Does anyone have this for sale ? I think it is only on VHS. But if someone has a legit version on DVD you know I want that.

 

[Javery]

Yikes. That movie was, how do you say?.... ing terrible. Even though I was dying to see footage of SMB3 the movie was still a waste of money.

 

[bignick]

AFAIK its vhs only, and hard to find. I was looking for it not too long ago.

 

[FrankTheFrowner]

C'mon, it featured the POWER GLOVE! LOL

 

[8ballGuy]

That movie was pretty kool to me

 

[Dirt]

No it isnt Casablanca or LOTR or anything but it isnt terrible and the 80s nostalgia factors is through the roof.

There's no dvd release, but it's also on laserdisc. I own 2 copies of this masterpiece on laser: 1 to watch and the other brand new and sealed to preserve for our future generations.

 

[Dirt]

Laser disc ... those are the discs the size of old records right ?

 

[polaricecaves]

California!!!!! *moan*

The Wizard on LD....that's great. I sold all my LD's off along with the player. And YES...they are the size of record (LP/Vinyl/12"...whatever you want to call it)

I had some GREAT LD's, but most came out of DVD....except for COOL AS ICE.

No, there's a DVD, I have one.... although I'm 80% it's a bottleg (I got it off Ebay), it works, and has all the art work and whatnot. It's a great movie, I love it.... tons of nostalgia

 

[Dirt]

I dont guess you would want to sell it would you Chris ?

100% it's a bootleg. But hey, you have it!

I wonder if we'll ever see this released on (legit) DVD? I think it's going to be a long wait.
