The Wizard, finally coming to DVD

[InsaneDavid]

For those who haven't seen it, really it's a big feature lenght commercial for Nintendo. Honestly it's pretty much a rehash of Tommy with a few changes, mainly replacing pinball with NES games - oh, and no music outside from a couple little montages against music of the day. No big symbolism either.

Seriously though, that's what it is. Jimmy Woods is Tommy. Lucas Barton is The Champ. Instead of being told that he never witnessed the death of his father (Tommy), Jimmy slips into his sickness because he witnessed the death of his sister and so forth...

Aren't you all gonna wait for the £25 Blue Ray version, so you can watch it on your PS3?

Excellent news for those of us, like myself, who loved this film as a child.

Now I don't have to hook up the VCR anymore.

I have that movie for 14 years

Your mom is hot. XD

I love The Wizard. I think I watched it five times last month. I dont care if it's a Nintendo commercial. I like the NES and I love watching a movie about people playing it...don't swear it off just because someone made money from it. It's a movie about kids traveling across the country to play in a NES competition. Whats not to like about that?

Huh, hadn't thought about it that way.

This is all well and good, but when are they going to release Double Dragon on DVD? That is the worst video game movie ever. Who owns a copy of that on VHS? I got one for free because no one wanted to buy it from our local rental store.

It's on DVD. Check Amazon. I saw it at Wal-Mart a few weeks back in their bargain bin.

I've been watching for Double Dragon on DVD for ages now. I think it had a really short run a few years ago, because I can find listings occasionally, but I've never seen one available.

Didn't the wizard have a wacky part where one of the leads falsely accuses one of the madcap persuers with child molestation? Gotta love the 80s.
