High Road to China Reviews:
New release not available, "used" and "sealed" stuff overpriced and suspicious
2009-09-23 - I remember this as being a really enjoyable, fun movie... full of action and spectacular photography. You would THINK that with the popularity that Tom Selleck has reclaimed with the success of his Jesse Stone movies that all of his earlier works would be back in production, but n-o-o-o-o-o.

As we know, you can't buy "High Road To China" as a new DVD anymore. All that exists are various kinds of over-priced used copies, and many of them are in formats that cannot be reliably played on DVD players sold for use in the United States. And there are some offerings of "new" DVD's, but I've got serious doubts about what they originated from.

I've tried contacting some of these Sellers to get the answers to simple questions, like, "Is the movie in 4:3 (full-screen) format, or widescreen?", and, "Is this movie formatted in Region 1 or is it 'one size fits all?'". No replies! I suspect that a some of these offerings are cheap knock-offs that were illegally dubbed for sale... claims of "new, factory-sealed" mean nothing when anybody can get access to heat-shrink machines.

Poor Tom Selleck! It's so hard to buy many of the really enjoyable shows he's starred in -- especially the earlier ones. I guess that being a gun-toting, right-wing Conservative made him even more enemies in Hollywood than I'd thought.


Great film, but NO DVD !!!
2009-09-10 - This film should have been issued in high quality DVD long ago. Given the junk that makes it to DVD, it's ridiculous to still be waiting for the producer to get on the ball.

Take the high road
2009-08-30 - The VHS tape was as expected. We watched it that very night. It was delivered promptly and packaged well.

High Road to China, Tom Selleck at his best.
2009-07-12 - Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong have great chemistry in this movie. The adventure takes you across hostile lands by biplane with Selleck as a WWI ace and Armstrong as good a flyer as he. The scenery is spectacular and the action is fun. This is the way they should make movies. Also starring Jack Weston as an Ace Mechanic and Wilford Brimley, Robert Morley, Brian Blessed, Cassandra Gava, and Peter Llewellyn Williams. The music is good also. This is my favorite Selleck movie. I can't understand why they haven't released it on DVD!

Gave Up Waiting for this movie on DVD Ordered from Ebay.
2009-06-21 - Really been searching for a decent copy of this movie for years. No one knows why the movie companies don't release it in DVD and widescreen too. Something about not having been filmed right for widescreen. So just release it in any format is better than none. Maybe there are issues about who really owns the rights to this movie or who ever does might not want to share the profits with past actors, cast and crew..it's hard to know why someone doesn't want to make money in todays market. But you can purchase it probably bootleg from several places just have to google the title. I'm heading to ebay for under 15 you can get a version out of the country that plays on USA region equipment. I've read it's not the greatest copy but I've given up on Amazon ever bringing this movie. If someday it happens....I might want to update my bootleg version then. So that's all folks...off to the movies and oldies are the best goodies.
