Surprisingly, since it was released unrated, you could rent this from Blockbuster. When I worked there a very angry mom came in one time to chastise the store for letting her teen son rent it, even though her account allowed for that.

I do wish I knew how exactly the mom came to find out her son had rented it and that that was a bad thing for him to do. Did she walk in on him watching it? Maybe she popped in during the home-invasion scene.

I remember the box at our local rental place had an extra card portcullis stuck onto the front of the box so it really stood out.
It is mating season for the pterosaurs, and this well-endowed male wants YOU to fly with him.

There’s definitely a divide in here somewhere in the late 90s when I had moved on to DVDs. They were never quite the same.

The last major film released on VHS was...

It's interesting to think about a format being intrinsically tied to a time period. I was thinking the other day about how most mix tape playlists are similarly trapped in the 80's and 90's. You will likely never see a mix tape with, I dunno, Adele on it.
