VSC only releases their stuff in Canada, so that's likely. Hard Core Logo is available under the tarantino banner (rolling thunder pictures) in the US.Gordon McMurphy wrote: Is this a Canada-only release?
Hard Core Logo has one of my favorite quotes. One of the character's answering machine says: "I can't come to the phone right now, I'm eating corn chips and masturbating. Please leave a message."

However, VCS also released a very nice special edition DVD of Hard Core Logo with a rowdy commentary with McDonald and the film's star Hugh Dillon and a "tribute" CD to the band as well. Definitely worth picking up if you're a fan of this movie!SncDthMnky wrote:Hard Core Logo is available under the tarantino banner (rolling thunder pictures) in the US.
I also bought the edition of Roadkill that VCS released and it is quite good. Some nice extras and it is really a wonderful little movie, a great slice of Canadiana.
I've been a fan of Bruce McDonald's ever since I saw Highway 61 and tracked down all of his other films since...
If I'm not mistaken, McDonald once recounted a fairly amusing story about the time whne he crossed paths with Jim Jarmusch shooting Mystery Train while he was making Highway 61... of course, both have a habit of casting musician buddies in their films... Jello Biafra has a memorable cameo in Highway 61 for example...
