Has anyone ever heard of this?  Sounds like a movie club...if you don't cancel your subscription, you get charged every month.  They have a made for tv movie that I've never seen on DVD and am curious if it's worth the risk to order.  I can easily cancel once I get the movie, it sounds like, but am wondering if it's legitimate.

Thanks for the help!

Google is your friend.
They appear to be a division of SmartSavingsCenter, LLC.  Most reviews turned up are pretty negative (the Yahoo merchant reviews are particularly scathing.)  Seems there's been some trouble with no DVDs ever actually shipping - just being perpetually backordered, then canceled, while membership fees continue to accumulate.  (huh, sounds a little like the old DVDsoon grift...)

IMO better off ordering from a more known source. They don't really look to be the sort of place that would have an exclusive DVD release, if you mention the title I'm sure there's a good chance others here might spot an alternate lead...

I did eventually find the resource I think you found, but was hoping for a first hand account as the title (Bad Attitudes 1991 tv movie made by Fox...yes, I know it's a bad movie, but those seen in childhood often stick with you...!) is not to be found anywhere else that I could see...checked the usual sources, ebay, amazon, did a general google search.  I checked Fox's site, and while they show it occasionally on their movie channel, I don't get that and wanted to see if anyone had had a positive experience at all because I'd be willing to pay for a couple months of their service to get that movie on dvd...and even if I did get charged a couple months, it'd still be affordable to me...

I think we all have that "one" dvd we'd be willing to go the extra mile for, but I'm just worried I'll go through the hassle and not get it, so was hoping that someone would have first hand experience with them to see if they are as awful as they sound.

But hey, if anyone can get me a decent DVD of it, that'd be great too! (I do have a very, very old and badly made VHS copy made from the original showing in 1991 that I want to replace).

That one seems more commonly listed as "Bad Attitude" (singular), and found entries at many of the usual suspects from ~$6-15.  Though looks like it could be going OOP... Xenon seems to be a very small distributor and the sites that list inventory show available quantities as low.

Got hits on  DVDEmpire, Overstock, Amazon, DeepDiscountDVD, and no doubt are others. Your options to re-live 1991 TV movie are many.

Actually, Bad Attitude is another movie all together...that one is about cops.  The one I want is about kids with, wait for it...bad attitudes who get hijacked on a plane and end up making the hijackers miserable.  Bad Attitude seems to be easily found, Bad Attitudes, not so much.

Aw bugger... 

That's what I get for searching by the UPC given on HMS [000799113424], which matched what others has listed - and some of the cast too.   

Hard to say if HMS's listing is really the one you're looking for, then, since much of the critical data matches the incorrect "Bad Attitude" (note they also add "Full Title: Bad Attitude (dvd)" to the description. If their studio & UPC is correct, its not likely the one you seek (as Xenon doesn't appear to own it.)  I'd hazard a guess they have just entered the wrong title/desc for their listing.  Might be worth the risk of trying to order, though running the chance of phantom CC charges and possibly not the one you were looking for. 

Using IMDB alternate title data gets some interesting hits... looks as if this was widely available internationally on VHS, mostly PAL regions tho. Looks a tough one for finding in R1 on any format...
Might want to archive that VHS you have onto something more robust!

Yeah, I have a player that makes DVDs and I made a copy just for that reason (everytime I watch it, it gets a little grainer and jumpier).  However, the tape was made over 16 years ago on a tv that was 20 years old at that point so quality isn't too high to start with.  Now, the first 10 minutes of the tape jumps all over the place though it does eventually settle down.  It's also really, really fuzzy b/c of the tv quality and the channel quality.  Fox movie channel does show it every once in a while, but unfortunately I don't get that channel!    So I was hoping against hope that it was a legitimate source of it.  I've never seen the movie available in any format...would be willing to buy a decent copy and pay to get it transferred to dvd/vhs.  *sigh* just one of those movies, you know?

It's really looking like this place is a bust...didn't even notice that the upc matched the cop movie.  Have a feeling you're right and they messed up...  Thanks for the help, though!

A quick search came up with these links for Alan Myerson's "Bad Attitudes" (1991), aka "Mala Conducta" (Spanish title), aka "Supergang" (German title).

Thanks for the links, Enry, I hadn't found a lot of them.  The Cast list one was nice since I hadn't found a full one before.  The most promising...the last from Amazon.ca, doesn't seem to be viable anymore unfortunatly, and while I wish I had 1800 bucks for a vhs tape, just don't have that much money.  The others seem to be in other languages.   I've really had no luck finding a reliable site that actually has it and not just a listing...

I'll find it one of these days!
