Surprise spring 2016 VHS finds

The last few times I have hit the few places I know of that haven't taken to pricing VHS at "$5 a tape cause they are collectors items now."the places had nothing. One of them had stacks of hunting and fishing videos.

Then this past Friday I had time to kill so hit one of the local thrift stores. They must have just gotten in a bunch of VHS and DVD,cause the normally half full shelves were packed thru. There was also a new shelf full and a big tub full.

I start digging thru the big shelves,found no DVDs I wanted but did find 2 VHS.

 Never seen this Don "the Dragon" Wilson film.It is a ex-video store copy. And the main label has fallen off. But as with all of these tapes once I got home I pt each one into my vcr and tested them out.And they all work and look decent.

Yep it is still sealed. Saw this film years ago and enjoyed it. But debating on if I am gonna open it and watch it or leave it sealed.

Wandered over to the new shelf of VHS,which thankfully had a chair next to it. I sit down and start going thru piles of oversized kids VHS.

I have never seen this video compilation. But with the tapes being extremely cheap I took the chance. Plus it is Cheech and Chong,they are pretty much guaranteed to be funny.

Somehow over the years I have never owned Misery.And until I find it cheap on DVD or Blu Ray this VHS will work fine.

That was the only finds on the new shelf. So time to dig into the tub. Oh forgot there was a bunch of non pre-record VHS mixed into every shelf so far. And I would quickly glance at the label just to see what might be on there. Did find one labeled "Coonie's Wedding". Might go back and grab that another day.

But back to the tub of tapes.

Since getting this on DVD in it's original cut is almost impossible I have been on the lookout for a VHS of it. Not only is it my favorite of the 5 Prom Night films. It is also the first one of that franchise I have seen.

Yep a New Line release of Return of the Street Fighter. I discovered the Sonny Chiba films thanks to a buddy back in the mid 90s. But have never gotten a copy of this film from the great Streetfighter series.

Never heard of this film. But it is Science Fiction and it is from Cannon,so it will be at least watchable.

No clue if it can be read but on the case it says "Wrestling don't record over." and then "Dont Record OVER!" Sadly it isn't wrestling it is 4 hours of rodeo.

I got Full Moon Fever mixed up with Full Moon High.I bought this thinking I was gonna get a chance to watch a horror/comedy I have been wanting to see for years. Turns out Full Moon Fever is some late 80s porn.

Now that is all I found at the local store. And if that was all I found it would be a good haul. But then last Saturday I rode down to Richton MS. SWA was having a wrestling show and I had been asked to come help out a local video crew.

After getting there and setting up,I see that there was a lady with a table full of DVDs and other stuff.On the table was 2 vhs. I see a Ric Flair WCW VHS and picked it up.Was about to ask the woman how much when she looks over and says "Monty has a pile of vcr tapes in this tub. Feel free to dig into it. He is selling them cheap."

Managed to score 8 WCW VHS. For a great deal.All of these ex-Blockbuster copies. After the show Monty was telling us about how he was buying them from Blockbuster for 3 bucks each years ago.

                                                   Slamboree 1998,1999 and 2000.

                         Spring Stampede,Superbrawl 2000 and Great American Bash 1999

                                                Then two Ric Flair compilations.
So found 15 decent VHS for what ended up being under 50 cents each.
