'Big Man on Campus'

[Lennon]

Anyone know where I can get this film on video? Its an 80s film and is about a hunchback living in a clock tower on a University Campus - and its hilarious! Please help - I've been looking for this film for ages - any suggestions of where to look??

Looks like it's UK compatible - check it out.

Hi ipek! Can't believe anyone posted an answer! Thanks for writing! I've had a look on that site, but all the prices are in dollars, which to me is a bad sign that it is going to be the American version. I can't seem to find any other info on the site that tells me if it is American, and if it isn't - I can't find out how much it would be in �! Can you help?? Thanks in advance!!

Aaaaaargh!.......looks like it's Canadian, so $50 would be about �20 - but the VHS format would probably be NTSC (no good for us brits). They have a support mail address, try them [email protected]
Meanwhile, I'll keep looking, but it ain't looking too good........

Thanks ipek! I'll email them on that address you've given me, and hope for the best. Thanks for all your help!

Hi. When you're searching, bear in mind that the UK title for this film was 'The hunchback hairball of L.A.". It was released on video with that title, because back then most poeple here didn't know what a campus was. Hope this helps. Good luck!!

Hi again. There are currently four people selling an original copy on www.ebay.co.uk. Do a search for 'hunchback hairball' and you'll see the listings.

donniedarko you are brilliant! Can't believe I've found it - I never knew it had a different name over here! I've bid for it and hopefully I'll get it next week. Thanx for your help too ipek! I'm a happy girl now!! Cheers!!!
