I know I brag a lot about wanting a Region 1 Phantasm II DVD, but I just want to know...do you have good feelings that this will be the year will finally get Phantasm II on Region 1 DVD?

i hate to be negative but since it has been this long i doubt it. i am sure if Don ever gets the rights back to it the news will be released quick. as i am sure he must know there is a demand for it.

2008 will be no different than 2007 & the many years before it on this matter.

Never say never, Twilight Zone The Movie finally got released on dvd last year and people said that would never happen, Also Monster Squad finally got released, I do think Universal is stupid because a Phantasm II dvd would make them a good profit, But I believe they will eventually release it, Its a shame that some classic films set on the shelf so long while people are wanting to see them, We are going through the same thing with the classic Night Of The Creeps.

I would say no. It's been this long that they haven't released it, and I don't think this year will not be any special than all the previous years.

The Never Dead and Red Planet Minion have it IMO. 2008 is no different than 2007, but then there was nothing truly stopping Universal from releasing it in 2007.
Just like Night of the Comet and Monster Squad had no big prompt for being released recently, I say P2 can be released whenever the heck Universal decides to do it, if they ever do decide to do it. "Maybe" they will, "maybe" they won't. Phans certainly aren't getting any more patient about it, and eventually something's got to give.

Twilight Zone The Movie was released theatrically in 1983, And the dvd was finally released last year, Phantasm II was released 5 years after TZ The Movie so time has nothing involved with Phantasm II being released on dvd, I believe they will eventually release it, Until they do why not get the R2 dvd or get a bootleg copy?

You have a good point there. I just looked it up on IMDB and Monster Squad actually "took a bath" at the theatres. It made no money (Budget 12 Mill, Gross 3 1/2 mil), so why release a DOUBLE SPECIAL EDITION DVD? I'm sure there's a story why? (petition, aggressive pressure on Universal via movie business types etc...) Being a horror/monster/sci-fi fan, I bought both of these because of the storyline and their fans devotion. I didn't even know they existed, and I was a 80's teen. It just sounds like Universal is managed erratically. It will be released. This year? Doubtful. It will happen only if and when P5 gets officially approved.

I'm sure there's a story why? (petition, aggressive pressure on Universal via movie business types etc...) Because The Monster Squad has a MUCH bigger fanbase than Phantasm does. It was geared towards children and ended up doing very well on VHS. Phantasm II is a horror flick not geared towards children that Universal probably doesn't believe would make them a lot of money. The studios want to make money. They don't care about what people want. If you think they give a crap about fans, you're sadly mistaken. I honestly have to disagree with you, Phantasm is a much larger name than Monster Squad, Even if its Phantasm II, I didnt find out that Monster Squad even existed until I started using the internet, But I remembered Phantasm II and III from when I was a child.

I'll have to watch the special features disc again on MS, but I think the movie succeeded in getting released on dvd because of something else (letters to Universal maybe?).

I will make a small wager, that Night Of The Creeps will hit dvd before P2 does. Sucks ass, but that is what i think. Universal needs to step up to the d**n plate here. get on with it already.

I have a feeling that it may hit stores within the next few years. Night of the Creeps that is. Well...I hope so anyway.

That's one of those cult treasures that's been itching to be released for years now, yeah, it'll be coming any year (if not any month XD) now. What makes P2 less likely to be released is that fact that it's a sequel, and stupid distribution companies don't give a d**n about sequels

Look, so far, Universal plans to release The Wiz, Xanadu, The Nude Bomb, and Journey to the Far Side of the Sun for DVD this year. If these can get a DVD release, then there's a 50% chance will get Phantasm II this year.

Does anyone have hope that Phantasm II will be released on DVD this year?

Everyone hopes it.
But the simple fact is, the likelihood just isn't there.

I hope it'll get released but I highly doubt it will.
