Which one? (Rock and Roll High School) - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I was recently on DVD Aficionado and I saw that there are two versions of "Rock 'n' Roll High School"? Which one is the better of the two? I've been planning on picking this up before but I never got the chance. Maybe I'll finally get to it now.

According to www.dvdpricesearch.com one of them has been discontinued. I'd get the one that's in print. (But that's just me.)

That took me about a minute and a half to find out. I'm sure if you did some research, you'd be able to find a list of features for both versions and/or some reviews for each within about 5 minutes.

Compare and make a decision.

Droogie,

Please make your threads have more accurate titles. This way people know what the thread is about.

2. Make your thread titles descriptive of what is in the thread. (Don't a start a thread called "Question." Instead use "Question about Bladerunner" or "What is widescreen?")

Thanks,

Man, "Rock n Roll High School" sure is a great movie -- you'd really suprised how many kids my age who supposedly "like punk rock" have never even heard of this masterpiece of cinema

Arigato,

I've got the New Concorde version (Lion's Gate).
On the back of the case it mentions that it includes an 8 page booklet, but there was no inserts in my copy.
Anyone else with this title have this problem?
I don't think any of my Lion's Gate titles came with inserts but the reason I ask is cause this one specifically mentions it on the back.

Otherwise an excellent dvd, sure beats my old vhs that had been viewed like a million times

I'd like to check it out, but my local rental place only has the sequel (same situation with CHUDs).

Get that booklet that was supposed to come with it.
RNRHS is a good disc, I picked it up at Best Buy for only 10 bucks (and I would have paid up to fifty, as I am a gigantic ramones fan)
The New Concorde version also has a picture of Joey Ramone with his years 19??-2001, really sad.

I believe they are the same. The newer one just recognizes Joey's death. It mistakenly states the trailer is on the disc.
