LOL what? No. It was available on VHS in the 1980s, at least in the USA.

I purchased a copy online probably sometime in the 1980s and probably through Amazon. Still have it somewhere. I was gathering a collection of old and classic horror movies, and that one was a must-have. Never heard that anyone had tried to ban it.

It was banned in Sweden until 1972.

These parts were shot in my hometown, in the Netherlands.

I did not know that.
But, since it is about Donald Trump, it should be banned.

@rebbel That’s a later film.

I am unaware that any judge ordered the destruction of this film.
I also have it on DVD.

—@Jeruba If you purchased it through Amazon, then I don’t see how you could have bought it before July 5, 1994.(company)%28
