    Anyone else getting this movie?

    I ordered through www.Overstock.com and I already got the movie today!!! :D btw - it releases tomorrow.


    I'm excited about getting this movie, it was OOP prior to this re-release so it was very hard to get.

    It was like $17.39 at Overstock, but I had 10% off, so about $15.66. I ordered quite a few things. They were some great prices with the coupon.

    I got a copy of Scarface on e-bay about a year ago, but quickly found out that is was a very poor quality bootleg. I can't wait to get a good copy.

    the original release was very poor... i have an original copy, the video to dvd transfer was just poor. i saw a snippet of the new version on another dvd as a preview, it looks so much brighter and crisp. i'm all over this dvd tomorrow at lunch!

    The original release is generally regarded as having one of the worst DVD transfers ever. It's about time Universal got around to fixing it.

    He now seems to come out of his catatonia, runs to his
    sideboard, hauls out a rocket shoulder-fired rocket
    launcher and straps an Uzi across his shoulder. He looks
    up at the monitor.
    On the monitors, the hitters are now darting across the
    foyer and coming up the left and right hand stairs.
    Three of them are already huddled outside the door, around
    the corpse of Chi-Chi, motioning to-each other, laying a
    grenade at the base of the door to blow it out.
    Tony loading his rocket, intends to beat them to the punch,
    talking to himself.

    TONY
    So you wanna play huh, say hello
    to my little friend
    here.

    Karroooomph!
    The rocket tears down the door and blows the Columbian
    punks off the landing into the foyer. It sounds like
    Armageddon, one of the hitters screaming, smoke billowing
    wildly.

    I haven't seen it either.

    I do remember when it was out in theaters. I can't believe it's been 20 years already. Man, I'm getting old.

    $9.99

    That's the best deal I've seen in B&Ms everywhere.

    Might be cheaper online, I admit it was a whimsical purchase. I've wanted it for a while, so I said, "what the heck?"

    Three Kings is one of the most underrated movies of all time. I'd say it was one of the ten best movies of the 90's.

    I couldn't agree with you more.

    I wouldn't go that far... :cool:

    But it was a great movie for sure. $9.99 is a steal!


    Definitely top 50 of the 90's though.
