Yup, I was like 11 when it came out so I was mostly done with action figures and the like, but He-Man was my fav growing up. More than GI Joe, Transformers, Star Wars, MASK, etc... They just came out with so many crazy weird characters that kept it fun, but ya this movie even for kids back then really blew.

There is a great documentary that came out about the studio who made this and many other iconic and lesser known cheese films of the 80s:

Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films

A must watch for any film buff and it's still on Netflix US

Apparently, you can still buy them.

>Aggressive, explosive, and boasting awesome athletic ability, Dan Clark rose to tremendous fame as Nitro on American Gladiators. He quickly emerged as the most popular cast member and became a reality television superstar. But a twenty-year affair with steroids led to a life of pissing blood, smuggling drugs, destroying hotel rooms, getting arrested, growing breasts, and lying bloodied in the street after a vicious fight with his best friend.

They published the book for the sequel last year. Earl Mac Rauch wrote both.

Don't get your hopes up though, its not a good book.

Oh man, I'm sure it was. Ground zero, where it all started.

Speaking of which, do you know about Jamel Shabazz's books:

A Time Before Crack and Back in the Days? Both document that golden era of hip hop in NY. Check 'em out!

This is a best-of-Craigslist post from the Visalia/Tulare CA area. Pretty interesting to see, to me at least. :)

I honestly can't remember if it was Showbiz, or Chuck-E-Cheeze first, but it swapped in the late 80's, and then went back to the original name.

I was born in 76, and I was 5-6 years old and my family somehow got the "grand opening" tickets. I remember it vividly, because it made Aladdin's Castle at the Sequoia look like a joke haha!

I really miss those days, when arcades (when they were plentiful) were video game arcades, and not these token-eating ticket spewing crapfests they are now. :(

I had a grasshopper until I ran it into the curb too many times and busted the axle. After that, I got an RC10 with foam tires for the street. Updated Grasshopper

Darn, at this point it might be easier to find a torrent of it. I don't even know if it's on DVD. Although it's supposedly available on Amazon. It wasn't a major release, so it's kind of forgotten:

Yup. That's definitely a mullet. But in later seasons she had a completely different hairstyle. A bob-type cut without bangs.

I love this movie. I have a BTTF T-Shirt and always get positive comments on it every time I wear it.

There is a "Delorean Time Machine: Owner's Workshop Manual" that just came out. It is hardback and is pretty cool. It is made to look like an owner's manual along with detailing how the time machine works with some parts "redacted". It also has "notes" from Doc Brown which detail little missing things from the movie. For example how Doc and Marty met. You can search for it but here is an amazon link to it. It is $27 but worth it for the hardcore fans. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1683836219

Full movie on Prime.

I apologize for posting this everywhere but I saw this movie hundreds of times when I was a kid and had a huge crush on Tanya Roberts. RIP. ;(

If you find a VHS, check out the Elgato VHS to digital converter

I found a ton of old home movies and used my old VHS to transfer the videos to my PC. It was really easy with this thing. I recommend getting a VHS with auto tracking though, it made it a lot easier and the quality much better.

I think this might be it! No actual cover on the listing, and I can't find any pictures or other info anywhere. I ordered a used copy for 14 cents plus shipping just in case this is actually the book I think it is. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0590333089/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

If anyone remembers this book, please let me know!

Guys. They still sell these. Fifteen bucks on Amazon. Totally worth it.

(And I'm trying to throw the horns, but it just came out look like I had had a shop accident.)
