True Lies. Its weird that such a popular movie is not available to stream or purchase anywhere it seems but in the used DVD or bootleg market.

Huh, I actually see that one a lot. It was available on Starz recently (might still be) and HBO before that. Also has had runs where it was the movie of the month on AMC.

There was a period when I was in college where one of my roommates and I were watching parts or all of True Lies almost every night.

It's the Tom Arnold effect.

Is there a bigger movie than True Lies that has never been released on blu ray?

I imagine this will change quickly if CBS green-lights the TV series. At least I hope so.

movies2watch.tv/ - 1994: True Lies

Just a heads up. I did get one pop-up. After closing it, the movie plays just fine.

As a kid in the 80s/90s I lived in Dubai. There was CNN and basically nothing else in English on TV at the time. Each summer we’d buy and bring vhs tapes from the US into the country. At the airport your luggage was screened upon entry and certain contraband was taken. This included all vhs tapes. The tapes were watched by a screener and then returned to you after a few weeks with appropriate edits of nudity or other sensitive content.

True Lies was never returned. 3 different times. It’s negative depictions of Muslims were not permitted. So perhaps 3rd world autocratic censorship is alive and well today.
