Show Thursday, October THE GREEN SHEET 22, 1987 Where Is 'Platoon?' The Case Of The Missing Video WHERE IS MY VIDEO COPY SO, OF PLATOON?'!? Thats a question you are likely to hear often, especially since a lot of you went to the video store on Oct. 13 to pick up a copy of one of last years hottest films. Armed with as much information as is avilable I will attempt to answer the question. Hemdale Film Corp. made the films Platoon and Hoosiers and therefore owns the video rights to both. Hemdale made a deal with Vestron Video assigning the video rights and Vestron was to make a series of payments to Hemdale for said rights to both films. Well, Vestron Video missed a payment so Hemdale (without so much as a letter to Vestron asking if it was an oversight) immediately yanked the rights and negotiated a new deal release of Platoon and Hoosiers. The Oct. 13 release of Platoon was cancelled by HBO Video in compliance with the court order and HBO has asked that all retailers who Platoon on the shelves, not to mention all the advertising outlay, all of which means a huge financial investment. Now we get down to the video r' wm M atk , Vi with HBo Video. HBO Video entered the deal (which rumor has it was for more money than the old video rights. Meanwhile, back at the Vestron Video ranch, Vestron felt that it had been done a very serious misjustice and proceeded to take the matter to court, losing three times. HBO Video released Hoosiers ito the video market and was planning to release Platoon when, on Oct. 9 Vestron won an injunction in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals prohibiting the bought copies of Hoosiers remove them from circulation immediately. The retailers are naturally unhappy because Hoosiers is a hot renter and they have no idea if they will get their money back as of this writing. HBO Video is extremely concerned because it has all those copies of customer. All you want is to see Platoon on video and you want to know when thats gonna happen, right? Well, so do the video stores, distributors, HBO Video, Vestron Video, etc. The only thing that I can say at this moment is nobody knows when since it is in the courts and p Wheel of Fortune Nightly Business Report CD Bullwinkle Q) Mork and Mindy 6:30 B O O Q Down to Earth CBS Morning News Before Hours NBC News at Sunrise Morning Stretch 5:45 CD A.M.

Exboxer Virgil Dillon has had his share of problems with the gangs, especially the Scorpions, who have stolen his car. When Virgil teams up with a repo man to help him repo one of the Scorpions cars the Scorpions retaliate by killing the repo mans lady and Virgils daughter. Left with nothing but the anguish of loosing their loved ones, our heros go after the gang that has stepped over the fine line between life and death. Richard Pepins photography and Joseph Merhis script and direction have stunningly captured the flavor of East L.A. and the emotion each man goes through as he is pushed to the limit. Pepin and Merhi have proven, once again, why they are considered premier filmmakers by assembling a fine cast led by Del Zamora and Quincy Adama with a solid musical score by John Gonzales which is totally in keeping with the film. Dont miss Heat Street, a hot film which could give film making lessons to some of the boys at the major studios. Heat Street is in the video stores now. Until next week remember to keep your feet off the seats and the popcorn hot.

Oct. 31 there will be a special edition of Werewolf that ya gotta see to believe. KUTV Ch. 2 is running a movie on Oct. 25 (Sunday) called Bay Coven starring Pamela Sue Martin. It involves a young couple who move from the city and buy a home on Bay Cove from a nice old lady (Barbara Billingsley) who lives in a cottage on the grounds. After they have moved into the house a series of strange events have our heroine taking stock of the people around her. n I was lucky enough to Bay Coven and, believe me, if you like stories about witches and cults raising havoc with people this one will keep you glued to the screen. I suggest you get the munchies out before it starts at 8 p.m. A TV MORNING may be tied up for quite a while. Another interesting note is that the producer of Platoon is suing Hemdale. It seems, according to the suit, that he received some of his pay up front (at the start of filming) and was to receive the balance upon completion. Furthermore he was to receive a percentage of the profits which he hasnt received as of today so he has them tied up in litigation. I have made several attempts to speak with the involved parties at Hemdale and they have either been out or not issuing any comment. They also havent returned my calls. The courts will determine who the guys in the white hats are and who is wearing the black hats but until they do, you can make up your mind and see what happens.
