Hi does anyone know where i can get hold of 'Meatloaf To hell and Back' on DVD please? I cant find it anywhere. Thanks!

you'll have better luck finding stoney and meatloaf on CD

It doesnt exist and a VHS copy will cost you a pretty penny on Ebay.

But you can watch it on youtube.

Hi Michael, welcome to the forum.

As WArio says, it's never been released on DVD (and a release isn't expected any time soon lol) but the video turns up now and again on ebay.
I wouldn't say it went for a pretty penny though, i'd be surprised if you had to pay more then a fiver.

I picked up a copy on ebay three months ago for £2.99

Might be easier to get hold of in England.

It was shown on tv last month and I recorded it straight to DVD. The picture quality is better than the one you can download. If anyone wants a free copy (within reason) let me know and I can post one!

Hey, I know it is a long shot but would you be able to post it anywhere? I mean, we all know it is not worth paying much for but it is damn hard to find

mimomisu · 22 Feb 2016, 21:34

oh, nevermind...I found it...a bad VHS rip but better than nothing. If anyone¨s interested, I'd send you a link through email

There's so much that's wrong with this movie from memory that I'm glad that they haven't done a DVD. It's worth the view if you're curious though. But again, those changes...

Meat's mother smoking in bed.
Meat's father going at him with the butcher's knife. "I'm going to make it. I'm going to do something with my life," blah, blah. Read the book and it's chilling. The poor guy is trying to fight his way out of the house or he's going to get killed. It should have been treated like a horror movie. It's not Hollywood tripe. Your own parent is coming at you...
Also, the father died in the 70s. You can find that anywhere on the web. So Meat didn't walk into the house and find posters of "Bat out of Hell" and "Dead ringer" and all of that. The book doesn't say what happened in the end, but I did read somewhere that they met up again, but even the stuff about the shrine... Why change *that* much?

Gee, you can tell that this is a bit of a sensitive issue for me, haha.

No Stoney and Meatloaf. Who was the girl at the audition? No Bad for good. Leslie going into labour while Meat's recording Dead ringer. Did that happen? Or more tripe? It just goes on and on and on.

It's a lot of small details, but they all add up.

Thing is, they had the book right there!!! Why change FACT like that??? WTH was with this movie??

That whole scene with the butcher knife is actually the onl yreal good part imo of the movie, sans the ending with AFL.

I love how hes recording BFG but its obviously Peel Out hes singing XD.....

And when Jim is writing "Bat" he plays the intro to Frying Pan XD

The movie's garbage

Leslie went into labour during bad attitude which they completely disregarded anything from the 80s lol.
