At the moment we say The film was released on VHS and Laserdisc in 1990, but because of its limited release, copies are quite rare. Ermmm ... copies of what? If we mean that laserdiscs and VHS tapes of the film are quite rare, well probably yes but that surely is a bit of a collectors' market comment, given that both of these technologies are well on the way out ... so who cares? (It's not cited either but hey.) If we mean copies generally are quite rare, well, no, this appears to be untrue as we go ahead and list sources in three major markets. (I bought one brand new for six quid from HMV online the other day so it was not exactly Indiana Jones tracking down the Ark.) So what is this copies are quite rare ... what does it mean, and where is its source? I feel that if there were more clarity about this, it would improve the article. But what do you think?
