Part of an experiment by Columbia/Tristar to build a rental market for Laserdisc in Australia towards the end of 1991. Many of these discs were later imported into the UK which was undersupplied with titles at the time. The licensing notice on these discs states that they were intended solely for "Australian and New Zealand distribution" and they often have a BBFC sticker recertifying them to UK standard. Some discs did not get imported due to licensing issues - this was one of those discs.

Mine has "BlockBuster New Zealand Only" Rental Sticker on front.

The film is presented in Widescreen despite no mention of the fact on the jacket or disc. No chapter listing on the rear of the jacket.

This disc was available to purchase in the UK during the 1990s. There is no reference to Australia or New Zealand distribution. A clue to the disc's original intended market is feature of Hoyts PTY written below the RCA Columbia Home Video logo on the front & rear of the jacket. The PG rating on the front of the jacket is not the same as the UK rating for PG.

My copy and other local (AU Releases) were ordered and purchased new at the time, no rental stickers.
