As Australia's youngest major video distributor, Palace Home Video has quickly come of age.
This, our first dealer presentation tape, serves to inform you of two exciting new categories
of Palace Home Video which will offer powerful new additions to your video library.
These are Palace Films and Palace Family.
Palace Family will cater for children and Palace Films will appeal to the mass market.
Here's what Palace Films has to offer.
Tom Selleck is Hollywood's hottest property.
Who is the man who melts into shadows?
Who can get in?
Tom Selleck is Lasseter.
Who knows the best things in life?
I like a man with scars.
Have you ever killed anyone, Mr. Lasseter?
What difference does it make as long as you enjoy what you're doing?
You know what it is?
It's a fright.
What did I do?
Well, I'm decided, yet.
Who could ever be this hot and stay this cool when the law has a job they can't handle?
They turn to a man outside the law.
Lasseter.
The film critics of the modern age thought of last year's best science fiction film to
be Android, starring Klasinski.
Deep space, undisturbed, peaceful, isolated, and experiments with the creation of life.
At three desperate characters running for their lives, meet Max.
Space is all he knows, and he desperately wants more.
What kind of work do you do here, Max?
I'm Dr. Daniel's assistant, as I said.
You didn't say anything about the experiment?
No, sir.
Of course not.
Max didn't tell me there was a woman next to you.
Max is an Android.
Well, that was very well done, Max.
Really?
Well, I've been doing a lot of research.
I've created the prototype of the perfect working class.
You're both the Androids.
Not to mention the perfect woman.
There are others like us on Earth, Max, in hiding, and we're going to join them.
What are you doing?
What's going on here?
Android, much more than human.
Totally off the wall, Waitress is a crazy movie for people with a big appetite for zany comedy.
It's a very ordinary day in one of New York's most prestigious restaurants.
We cordially invite you to the wildest, wackiest comedy of the year.
Waitress!
Yes, it's Waitress.
If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you must see this movie.
Our waitress is about young people who work in restaurants while they pursue other careers.
Are you getting all this?
Andrea.
And we don't have any.
Your friendly waitress, My Day.
Shakespearean actress, My Night.
Jennifer, efficiency expert, My Day.
He had the time to be a good man.
I'm not a good man.
I'm a good man.
He had the time.
Oh, sure.
And searching investigative reporters.
How tall did you say you were?
Six feet.
And 11 inches.
I like it kinky.
Did you say kinky?
Kinky?
Did you hear that too, honey?
You like the kinky?
When will we begin?
And Lindsay, a rich little hot pants who gives new meaning to ladies' souls.
That'll teach you to break a stay with me.
Oh no, daddy.
Please, please.
You wouldn't want to talk about that.
Waitress.
Yes, waitress.
There's a laugh riot that's good.
Please.
Fine.
Where's the cash?
Oh, the tractor and tree people lot.
I love it.
Waitress.
The menu has music.
And romance.
I told you to serve those rolls.
You want me to serve some rolls?
I'll serve some rolls.
Waitress!
Australia's fastest-selling record album this year belongs to this man, Australia's favorite
Rodney Rude.
Rude, Rude, Rodney Rude.
The video contains previously unrecorded material.
And it's gonna be huge.
Now darling, you know I love you. I want you for myself. And I'd like to see Simon Townsend's dog Woodrow relieve himself on Simon's leg on Wonderwall.
In the four o'clock time slot I'd like to see that, I'd like to see that. You know what I hate, you know what I hate, you know what I hate?
I hate it when my grandfather goes for his driving test and the driving instructor says can you make a U-turn and the grandfather says I can make her eyes pop.
I hate that, I hate that. You know what else I hate? I hate it when I go to McDonald's for a hamburger. I'm in the men's room and the bloke next to me's got a quarter pounder and I've only got a junior burger.
Oh and not big as a ball.
And I'd love, I'd love to be with you baby.
I got sacked from a job, I got sacked from a job. Did anyone ever get sacked from a job?
I got sacked from a job once just cause I smile a lot.
I said if I can't smile on the job get yourself another funeral director.
And I hate it when I meet a 76 year old leper that's got bad breath and acne and we go to her place and my place. We've been there 10 minutes, we're making love and she tells me I'm the worst she ever had.
All titles in the Palace Films category are priced at $79.50 including sales tax.

Now, there's lots of other little berry folk.
Shucks, they're all sleeping too.
We'll meet them later.
