I know there is only a snowball's chance in hell of this, but have USA original movies ever been put on laser disc?

Did they actually make original movies for Up All Night? I thought the whole point of it was that it was cheap crap from somewhere else. Certainly some of the movies shown on Up All Night were also on LD but not in any way because of or in association with Up All Night.

I think he's hoping that they were like the MST3000 stuff, put onto LD or DVD.
LD was too expensive for this type of junk to be released on it, the format was selective on a lot of titles, some junk got through
but not as much as when DVD first came out.

DVD is a cheaper format, I doubt any kid would be spending 40-60 bucks for a criterion release of a USA Up all night film.
They would have spent the 10-16 bucks a DVD would cost, or buy the entire series for 40 bucks.

Ah, yeah. There won’t be anything like that. It would just be packaging and commercial bumpers anyway. I don’t recall Gilbert or Ronda ever talking over a film or the movies being modified in any way except being censored for TV.

The sort of DVD series that became famous with MST3K were not financially viable in the LD era. You can buy, for example, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl O Rama (1988) [LV13005] but it won’t have Gilbert interrupting for ad breaks every seven minutes to say the name of the movie in his unique and charming way so what’s the point?

I just checked LDDB and it doesn’t seem like there are even any Elvira episodes, other than her actual movie. Sorry, it looks like your only choice is the complete the Gene Shalit's Critics Choice collection!

Please excuse me, however because my cognative function is diminishing from breathing forest fire smoke for several weeks, I felt like contributing an alternative to the topic at hand on laserdisc.

My alternative suggestion is "Mystery Science Theater 3000 : The Movie".
There is "the movie" on LD, and numerous volumes on dvd if not mistaken.

I realize some will infer that I may be suffering from poly-substance abuse as well as my aforementioned "forest fire smoke"...
That risk aside, MST 3000 is the first alternative that came to mind when noticing this thread.

Gotta get back to my rain dance, you cats stay healthy out there.
