I last watched Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. It was quite average thriller nothing special really, but for some reason I always like watching these Jack Ryan movies. They're always entertaining to watch.

I believe the previous watch from that was Student Bodies. Quite hilarious and random movie! That breathing voice is forever stuck in my head.

As often with these crazy comedies tho, they start getting bit tiresome towards the end, anything this crazy shouldn't be more than an hour long in my opinion. I still recommend this though if you like Naked Gun and slasher horror.

Would also recommend WACKO if you liked student bodies.

Thanks for the tip! It doesn't seem to be available on DVD (OOP) or Blu-ray though, so hopefully it'll get a new release one of these days.

I noticed that too, but Amazon itself isn't selling it. Just some used copies by other sellers and one new one, but it's overpriced. Don't like buying used DVDs if I don't know it's been taken good care of, since they are so easily scratched.

Also don't know if that release is any good or not. Can't find any reviews.

I'm a picky mofo.

Pegasus are very hit and miss with their releases. I've got some good quality stuff but others are ropey. Nothing is ever remastered.

I buy quite a lot of used films, never had a bad one from Zoverstocks,I normally read the description, i guess if it's totally scratched you'd have every right to send it back but i've never had to do this.
Mine's down to budget and also i consider if it's the only release available, or the extortionate prices some sellers charge.

My copy says it's 4.3 ratio and the picture's not great either, but it will do me for now. It's a largely forgotten movie so i can't see it being re-released soon.
Personally i'm just glad to have a copy.

There's a couple of clips of 'Wacko' on you tube if you want to see if it's your kind of thing.

Okay, you sold it for me! I'll give it a try.

£5.80 after shipping to Finland.

Just realized, that I had ordered Robocop Prime Directives used from Zoverstocks some time ago, but it was in terrible condition (bad enough that I didn't even dare to put it in my player!). They had no problem refunding it though.
