Anyway, they did Thomas The Magic Railroad and Whipped. Don't know what else.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-09-2001 04:06 PM                     Destination was also the release studio for the absolutly excreble "Beautiful", the directing debut of Sally Field and one of the single worst, if not the worst reviewed film of 2000. They should get together any remaining prints of this film and drop them on the freakin' Taliban, and not waste $2 mil on a Tommahawk.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-09-2001 06:22 PM                    just start showing the films to them and they will lay there arms down and give up or jump off a cliff....  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-09-2001 08:54 PM                     I believe the only films they actually released were BATS, THOMAS AND THE MAGIC RAILROAD, BEAUTIFUL, and WHIPPED (in that order if I remember correctly). The only other films that I can remember that they had planned to release were BUYING THE COW, SLACKERS, and RING OF FIRE. I believe BUYING THE COW and SLACKERS were both picked up by Sony, but I dont know what happened to RING OF FIRE.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 10-10-2001 12:37 AM                     Destination also put out "Eye of the Beholder" and "Drowning Mona". Was this the shortest-lived studio in movie history?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

If ya drop em just be sure they are all be on those darn Technicolor reels. If that doesn't foil the Taliban, at least they'll end up loosing their fingers!

This picture is available on DVD/VHS through Columbia TriStar. The back of the DVD case/VHS box has the Destination Films logo -- and Destination Films had a distribution deal with Columbia TriStar. Was Mission Kashmir ever intended for a non-Bollywood release?  |  IP: Logged
