Man, how'd you discover that?
Sort of complicated but I can tell you that there are tons of these things and I'm going to start making note of them as I come across them. It sucks because I count on IMDB's close ties to Amazon to define for me whether or not a movie exists on Region 1 DVD. I'm finding more and more films that IMDB does not have flagged as having a DVD available that do have DVDs. Even DVDs for sale on Amazon.com. There are a lot of foreign films, especially Asian, like this. I think they have trouble matching them up because of the name changes.
Yeah, it's certainly less than ideal. I often just go directly to Amazon to find out if something is on DVD or not, rather than relying on IMDb. I'm not sure which approach is more reliable.
