ANYONE IN THE UK?

Here's a laserdisc LOT on eBay, which includes ROADRACERS:

Some comments I found on the web:

"The laser disk version has a great feature of audio commentary during the movie or just the commentary without the movie soundtrack. His Rodriguez's commentary is very insightful and inspiring for anyone interested in film. He is truly a Jack of all trades in this film."

"The film's good, but RR's commentary makes it MUCH better. Hearing how he ended up getting this gig, what exactly he was given to work with and how he ended up with the film you're watching, is another great story for fans of the director or just film-making in general. On the comment track he alludes to lots of other material that he has from this project, like videos made during production, and makes an offhand comment to the effect that 'someday if this ever comes out on DVD....' Well, I for one would stand in line for a copy. If you enjoy the 10 minute film school features & other extras on RR's DVDs, you too should petition the powers that be to release RoadRacers on DVD - along with the original (&/or new) commentary track & extras."

"Roadracers isn't for everyone but you can tell I sure liked it. I really like the audio commentary. Rodrigeuz likes to talk and he keeps up a constant and interesting commentary. He's very enjoyable to my ears, I have enjoyed all of his commentaries.  He usually has something interesting and fun to say. He's very autobiographical and I like that. More than anything his commentaries show the evolution of his film making and that's pretty fascinating."
