Does anyone know if this movie has ever been released on Laser
Disc? Its a 1984 movie and my copy of Cinemania '95 only shows
it being released on video disc. Any one know any different??

Tony

Video disc is what laserdisc used to be ie with analog audio only.

Huh? Sorry. Videodisc and laserdisc are usually interchangeable.
They were never called videodiscs because they only included analog
audio. The only exception is when you preface "videodisc" with "RCA"
which is another system altogether.

Regardless, Night of the Comet with Catherine Mary Stewart (from The
Last Starfighter) has never been on videodisc of any kind. This is an
error in Cinemania if it is showing as available.

I've been in discs since 1980, and I'm positive it has never been
released. You be thinking of 1992's Year of the Comet which is completely
different and IS available on disc.

Howdy,
I had an opportunity last year to pick up a 35mm print of "Night
of the Comet" for $75 and I passed it up. Man, am I kicking myself now....

Mr. Young is correct......

I have checked 4 very good sources and NIGHT OF THE COMET has never been released
on laser.

Sorry to say...I mispoke. I do not own such a disc. I never have owned such a
disc. I probably never will own such a disc.

I am full of shit.

Please excuse.

SPOILER

From an *old* memory:

A comet comes. Everyone who was outside turns to dust. Our heroine and
her sister (both inside at the crucial time) go to the mall. They're
attacked by some evil dudes -- OK not everyone turns to dust. They're
rescued by some semi-evil military types who want their blood for a curative.
They break out and get away. Somewhere in all this is a DJ at a radio
station as a love interest.

I told you it was an *old* memory. I remember really enjoying it when
I first saw it on cable.

I am the one who posted this originally, but got out of contact
with the news section since I posted it. And subsquently
missed the previous replys. So if you wouldn't mind could any
one give me an answer concerning this movie being availble on
LD,now or in the past,(such as out of print)???

Thanks again,
Tony

[Blam1]

Never has been available on LD.
