"Well, at least I gave it a shot. For my college friends" - Buger Sirmon
To celebrate the success of STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE, we thought we'd like to upload the really trippy opening of a bootleg of STAR WARS EPISODE I, the opening to which (above) was posted by Buger Sirmon. There are a LOT of points I've got to make about this. They consist of the following:
Went to PDQ and eBay and got some interesting titles on all three of these named formats. The store stickers have been removed from my copies after this video was posted.
The opening to this hilariously warped film contains:
Text screen
"Action Jackson" trailer
"Tapeheads" trailer
"Tap" trailer
Another text screen (probably a warning screen)
RCA/Columbia Pictures International Video logo
Weintraub Entertainment Group logo
Opening Credits (containing Prince's "Kiss" as recorded by Art of Noise ft. Tom Jones)
The opening to the 2000 Demo VHS of Liberty Heights, basically a pitch of the tape and four other titles to an interested store owner. Yesterday, I bought the officially released version of it, which is much different.
Media Home Entertainment was one of the earliest video distributors. It was founded in 1978 by filmmaker Charles Band along with his colleague Irwin Yablans; for the first three years of its existence, Mr. Band called the firm Meda Home Entertainment in honor of his first wife, with whom he raised two children, one of whom (Alex Band) sang lead for the post-grunge group The Calling.

Ben Minnotte's Oddity Archive is one of the most successful web series ever produced. His program discusses (and then mocks) the various odd, obscure and obsolete areas of TV, Music, Film and Technology.
One of Oddity Archive's many sub-series is VHS Vault, or, as I'd like to call it, Why Did These Tapes Exist?

Recently, some of Disney's 1990s VHS tapes began to sell for uber-expensive prices on eBay. We're talking REAL expensive here. These tapes were said to have cost $1000 recently - and even the media got fooled into this too. But as Imaxination1980 - i.e. Kyle Ostrum - points out, these tapes probably only cost nothing more than a buck or two.
