I actually found a "unopened" copy of JP at a resale shop. By "unopened" I mean that some idiot had just opened it up. It is in perfect condition and even has a card inside of it for Jurassic Park Jello and Beethoven movies for $19.99 (Holy shit VHSs were same price as Blu-Rays?!). The tape itself hasn't even been played! For a $1, it was well worth it. I also found the original Star Wars trilogy from the 80s on VHS at the same place, and it was the version with NO CGI. Also for $1.
Anybody else feel like it took forever for the film to come out on VHS? Maybe it's just that I was a kid, and this was probably the first time I had an active concept of wanting to own a movie at home and actually having to wait for it. It felt like it took ages.
I can't believe they used those hyperbole tactics in marketing back then. "IT'S THE BEST MOVIE EVER" (it is; this is the only film to which the exaggeration applies)
I have the first two movies on VHS. I Got them just after they were released. There was a promotion in Spain that sold the first movie along with Chrinton novel. I still have the novel too xD. The second movie was sold along with a Jurassic Park T-shirt. It is no more of my size so I can not use it nowadays xD
Movies back then took a long time to come out. Congo, for instance, didn't come out on video for retail for like a couple of years. Star Trek: Generations also took forever.
@Draknfyre Star Trek: Generations didn't take quite as long as JP, as I remember watching it on video in November or December '95, roughly a year after its theatrical release.
I'm not sure about Congo, but that was definitely not a film worth waiting to come to home video...
Batman was released on video just 4 months after it hit theaters.
I think the poor money made off it kept Congo from coming out as soon.
Sometimes a movie would come out for rental first, and it be awhile before it was released for sale. That's what happened to Congo. You might not live where I do, but it (Star Trek: Generations) wasn't in stores for quite awhile.
Got this movie for Christmas when i was 12
