RE: The Fantastic Four (1994)
I agree I would probably buy it just for the cheese factor.

RE: The Fantastic Four (1994)
I like this movie alot better than Fantasic Four 2005 Movie because Fantastic Four 1994 Movie had a good cast and it was pretty much, just like in the comics. I wish Shout Factory could make some kind of deal or try to look into it.

RE: The Fantastic Four (1994)
I thought it was a fun cheesy movie and I'm actually surprised someone hasn't released it on dvd because in my opinion it was no worse then the old Captain America movies or Nick Fury movie which  have been released or will be released on dvd soon, and while we're at it what about Generation X and the old live-action Spider-Man series? According to Amazon Shout is going to release the two Captain America movies from the 70's if this is true I hope they can try and get some of the other rare Marvel movies and tv shows to release.

Ah, The Fantastic Four...

Here's an answer you're not going to like, gang.  This movie doesn't exist anymore.  The movie was made as a co-production between Corman and another company.  That second company, Constantin--I believe--, had a clause in their contract that said that if they could sell the rights to a bigger studio, they'd be able to purchase the movie away from Corman.  They sold the rights to a Fantastic Four feature to Fox, who went on to make the big movies we all know and love(?).  When they made that deal, they also bought the movie (which they disliked) away from Corman and...destroyed it.

If you have one of the bootlegs that are floating around, you have the best you're ever gonna get.

Sorry.

I heard that news as well but I was hoping it was just a rumor. Oh well, any chance Shout might look into Generation X or did Fox/Marvel destroy that one as well?

The issue, to my knowledge, wasn't that the movie was disagreeable to Fox, but that it was disliked by Constantin.
