Brian De Palma's Blow Out in 3-D? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

For any of you older movie fans who remember when DePalma's
Blow Out was in theatres (1981 to be exact), was it ever at anytime shown in 3-D? My friend insist that it was, and I say it wasn't. Even though I was eleven at the time, I have no re-collection of this movie being in 3-D even for a limited release.

The listing at imdb.com does not indicate it was ever shown in 3-D.

I did see it in theatres myself, and it was regular 2-D. I recall it quite vividly too!

I was 14.

...ahh... Jaws 3-D was in 3D, Friday The Thirteenth Part III was in 3D, Andy Warhol's Flesh For Frankenstein was in 3D, even Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder was in 3D ... but, no... Brian De Palma never made a 3D movie... you win, your friend loses!

Don't forget the end of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.

Which raises an interesting question: how many other 3D films are available on DVD in true put-your-glasses-on 3D?

I once saw a Dinosaur movie in a DVD shop that came with 3-D glasses... it looked like it had really crummy CG, though, so i kinda avoided it. I think it was made by Discovery/TLC, but don't hold that against me.

I'm sure there are a few niche 3-D Imax movies that are 3-D, but again, this is just an educated guess.
