It's great that he actually waited 15 years and then made the "20 years later" sequel.
Pity he didn't do the last installment but it would have been more difficult then to get the same cast together. (Actually I don't hate the Man in the Iron Mask film that came out in the late '90s. Clearly a different kind of film, but it can sort of be considered as the end of the saga. I don't like the new BBC series though - it's laughably simplistic.)
This is one LD that I don't own. But, to buy and ship an LD inside the US would cost around $18 total, or $16 with a bit of luck. (That's hard to beat. Where I live, postage has been steadily getting more expensive)
If we find a volunteer in the US who can do a good job, perhaps Althor, we could split the cost. (Did anyone ever actually capture the matrixed 4 channel sound? If not, I can live without it.)
