And it's a pretty short movie as I recall so it doesn't meander all that long before gearing up for the climax. I agree about the sequels, though - they're not so hot.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-78272786776005842002008-07-05T08:31:00.000-07:002008-07-05T08:31:00.000-07:00PHANTASM II just teeters on the edge of greatness ...PHANTASM II just teeters on the edge of greatness - the first 20-30 minutes is great and the last third with the sphere chase is balls-out awesome.<BR/><BR/>It's that middle section where almost everything stops to a halt, and the realization that you really haven't learned anything new that just leaves a sour taste in your mouth, intensified with the follow-up sequels.L.

For those who have all-region players, Phantasm II has been released overseas but that doesn't help the rest of us.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-35955681140637008092008-06-30T21:16:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:16:00.000-07:00I wish someone would put this out on DVD already. ...I wish someone would put this out on DVD already. It's been so long since I actually saw it (in a theater) that I don't even know how well it will hold up, but I'd like the chance to find out in all the widescreen glory that was intended.Bob Igniziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630416222197419152noreply@blogger.com
