Jurassic Park, the home edition



With only 99 days waiting left (if you live in Belgium, France or the Philippines) for Jurassic World, I thought it appropriate to check my cupboard on my Jurassic Park films.

That's when I re-discovered this lovely Jurassic Park VHS Special Edition,
in, what at that time was called, a DNA-Package.


I know it's easier to re-release a film nowadays with DVD and BluRay. You just ad a few extra making-of documentaries on the disk and sell the film over and over again.

On VHS that was a bit more difficult, since you couldn't keep on adding extra stuff on the same tape, because of it's maximum length, That meant the Studio's had to be inventive in changing the wrapping for the film, if they wanted to try and re-attract the audience to (once more) buy the same film.

And yes, I was one of those crazy people who kept on buying the film (again) if they had changed the wrapping sufficiently enough. And yes,that means I have more editions, just not all within gripping-range at the moment.

Wise ? Hardly, but it was (and is) fun to compare all the different packages, in my opinion.

And than again, I never said I was sane, did I ?

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
