Title: New transfer on Amazon Unbox, why not on DVD???
Product review: I haven't seen the DVD shown here but it seems to be a bootleg from a VHS source. I have the old Vestron laserdisc and the transfer leaves a lot to be desired- from what I've seen of the new Unbox transfer from MGM (who currently owns the rights to the movie, as it was owned by Orion beforehand) it looks like they've done a nice new 16x9 transfer with cleaned-up sound- why isn't THAT transfer available on DVD? I would buy that in an instant.I live near where this was filmed (even work across the street from the place that serves as the gas company headquarters!) The old gas station still exists but is now a California Recycling Center; the nicer Chevron/Pyramid station was torn down and paved over a long time ago, it's now just an extension of the parking lot! Keep your eyes open for a brief shot of beautiful Del Paso Boulevard, followed by a geographical error as the motorcycle gang rides up the wrong street.
