Has anyone heard a date on a release date for this great 80's movie? I've found it on Ebay, but it's an import and I'm not sure if it will play on my dvd player.

It depends. Check the back of your DVD player. If a "1" is displayed, then your DVD player can only play discs designated as "Region 1", that is discs coded for the United States and Canada. I checked out the "Howard the Duck" listings on eBay and I see your issue since the region code is not listed. Hopefully it will be a region 0 disc, which means you can play it with no problem since it doesn't have any region coding. But if it's a region 2,3,4,5 and beyond, you're out of luck.

As for a Howard the Duck release in the U.S., we'll see. I don't see anything for it yet, but in the DVD market, anything can happen.

You have to watch the items on ebay, because when they say import what they are actually doing is burning a dvd from the vhs version. That's why they do not have a region code.

I know someone who bought Blue Chips on ebay and it said it was an import, but was the VHS version burnt on DVD.

Never buy on eBay!!!! they always rip me of. Even though they 99.9% positive feedback. They actually find a way to hack into that and change it. My friend has done it! I KNOW! You can usually find cheap dvd prices on Amazon, there are independent sellers there.

no, it's live action. One of the best movies from Lucas. Many don't like it, but I'm one of the those cult classic fans. I enjoy the off brand, B rate movies.
