A Fish Called Wanda

[Find Your Magali]

Anyone know when the Region 2 special edition of this all-time comedy classic is going to make it to the United States?

Or is it already here and I'm stupider than Otto for not knowing....

[MacGuffin]

Probably around the same time MGM releases the "Misery" Spec. Ed. for Region 1.

Is that code for "When hell freezes over," or is there a date for "Misery"?

[MacGuffin]

Just saying that, with MGM, they tend to release the better Spec. Eds. for Region 2 loooooong before releasing them for Region 1, as was recently done with "Fargo". So, until then:

And Terminator.

When is Universal going to release a widescreen version of Fierce Creatures?

[Redlum]

Ah man the celebrity sponsored turtle. Kevin Kline and 'Hungry Heart' - kills me. I doubt fierce creatures will get a decent treatment though.

Think MGM did a Misery SE Region 2 before the R1 too.

BUMP

This never arrived in R1, did it?

Extras would have included an audio commentary with John Cleese, 30 minutes of deleted scenes with an intro by Cleese, John Cleese's First Farewell Performance, a Farewell Featurette: John Cleese, and a Something's Fishy documentary. Completing the package was a trivia track, photo gallery, collectible insert, and trailer.
