Post by christopher »

I rented some hellsing tapes this weekend and lo and behold there was an ad for the origional transformers movie 'coming to a cinema near you this august' i checked the movie released database and of course it isnt, and the video came out far less than 10-15 years ago........this strike you as weird?

Hmmmmmmmmmm......, yes that strikes me as odd. Why would an add for a kids movie be on a tape that is probaly rated PG-13 or higher?

An ad for a (cult) kids' film being on a PG-13 tape is no real surprise. Now, if it were the other way around, there's be some concern.

Back on track, it's possible that the film was given a re-release in some cinemas in the year the tape was released. I remember that I went to see TF:TM some years after it originally came out.

Stuff happens. :)

Aye, I've heard tales of "Kids Club" one-off screenings of TF:TM and the like, especially in the UK from about '87 to '92.
