Yup, it’s on my DVD.
Cinemas used to have intervals. So CCBB was shown in two hour-and-a-bit sections.
It’s on my DVD,a nd it doesn’t match up. When the intermission begins, they are just about to hit a cliff, and when you return they’ve backed up a good 300 yards and turned left. . .
That reminds me: I need to go into the What’s Your Favorite Word You Rarely Get To Use? thread and post gelignite.
I’d avoided SoM a long time, thinking it was going to be intolerably twee, but my sister dragged me to a showing one day. It was wonderful. Great songs, appealing heroine, nuns, Nazis, wow.
My VHS tape is like that, too. I thought that was just a very brief recap before the action resumes.
It was like that in the theatrical release too I bet, a “re-cap”.
Including a recap in case people were late in getting back would make sense.
Yeah, but they never get that close to the cliff again. There wouldn’t have been room for them to pull up in time. . .
I saw the thread title in the Cafe Society for a couple days now. I just had to click to find out why someone thought the car was too long. :smack:
That would actually be a reasonable question.
I want to know why I don’t have one. 
I had a little Matchbox car version. It was pretty cool.
Too long? Let’s see…
Two kids, who were about my age, ask their father to buy them a car. Surprise–he does! And he manages to make it a magical car; one that can fly and act as a boat. And the heroes go the where kids are oppressed, and teach the evil emperor a thing or two.
Too long? Heck, when I was eight years old, this movie wasn’t long enough!
I would be prepared to spend ridiculous amounts of money for one of those.
