But finding the original may be the hard part. The video has been out of print for some time (amazon.com has some for $149.00!) and the DVD has yet to be released. Maybe if you know someone with a copy or are lucky enough to have a video store that carries it. I gave up and got it over the internet from a friend. 730mb DivX avi file. Good quality.

We watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I doubt the hollywood version will come close. (besides the fact that they threw out about 90% of the plot from the old one.)
