Can't seem to find this for a decent price in region 2 ie, under £10


I know it's not an amazing film, but I figured it'd be easy to buy!
 
When you click 'buy' at play, it goes to 2nd hand £9.99 or £18.76 from another trade seller

The Hut, out of stock for ages.

What do you mean, "will play in a box"

It'll be just like any other dvd, full screen..
 
From memory the DVD went out of print over 5 years ago. I gather you are a 2000AD fan yourself or just a Dredd fan. As you say the movie isn't amazing but it's worth a watch.

I see this movie appear in blockbusters bargain bins and the odd carboot here and there but getting hold of a new copy is near enough impossible for a decent price. I think I got mine from a video rental place shutting down and even then I paid £4 for it and it was scratched to hell.
 
If need be I will try and find you a copy as I am going to the Tynemouth Market this weekend, if I spot one for pennies I will grab it and let you know if you want a copy. Unless you are specifically after a new dvd only.

Just checking eBay there are a handful on there, region 2 for under a quid with a day or two left on them :)

I must be alone in really like the Judge Dredd movie, my complaint was that it was too short. I was pretty young when it came out tho and not seen it for years :p

It wasn't short, that isn't the reason the movie grates on you. Dredd fan myself but the character Rob Schneider plays does my head in, in fact its just him that I hate xD

Thought the 'vision' of the film was pretty sweet but Schneider just ruined it, and lets not get started on Stalone as Dredd...seriously, the guys a midget!!

New Movie needs someone with the stones to not take the helmet off the entire movie...even when he's in the bath!:D
 
I really wanted to like the film as I am a die hard Dredd fan but there were so many differences between the film and the original stories.

I collect the Judge Dredd case files which is a reprint of the original Dredd strips which started in the late 70s so I will always go by them.

He took his helmet off in the movie and you saw his face ...... it never happened in the comic books.
