Fortunately, you can find most of Errol Flynn's movies on homevideo. Many suppliers, as well as reputable mail-order establishments, offer their services on the web.
As many of you already know, there are two formats of video available. The USA, Japan, and Canada use one type, while the rest of the world uses the other. It is very important that you look under the category which applies, or you may end up getting an unwatchable product. Likewise, you will see links on other pages of this site which lead to a specific film for ordering. Make note of who you click on for your region.
For simplicity's sake, we'll categorize them on this page, with NTSC for the USA, Japan, and Canada, and PAL for the rest of the world. Just click on the format below to go right to your area:

The Legend of Errol Flynn
There are some fabrications in addition to those already provided by Flynn (for example: a stuntman buddy named Billy, who dies during the filming of THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON. This is a combination of Buster Wiles, and an unfortunate freak accident in which another stuntman became impaled on a sword when he took his fall), but it doesn't subtract from documented misadventures and getting to see people portrayed which many of us have only read about. Barbera Hershey portrays Lili Damita exactly as Flynn had described her (except Flynn specifically stated he never called her "Tiger" to her face); Barry Ingham as John Barrymore is superb. As for Duncan Regehr, he certainly makes for a charming character - and he possesses that rare quality about him that most of today's stars lack - but I'll be danged if he didn't look like Ronald Colman! Well, that really isn't a bad thing...is it?
I enjoyed this film as entertainment, but it portrays Flynn way too innocent and - heck - what's with the mustache in CAPTAIN BLOOD???
Also features Tracey Ullman, Richard Lewis, Roger Reese, Dom DeLuise, plus a few surprise guests! Also available on laserdisc from this site.
(Note: The line which everyone who has seen this film seem to regard as their favourite is actually attributed to John Barrymore!)
You can find this title in the MGM/UA Vault by selecting their icon above.
I followed this series as a comic book long before it was conceived as a film, so you know I'm going to like this for being true to the original. But let's face it, this Neville Sinclair is the bad guy's bad guy, and stops at nothing to get the rocket.
This movie is also available in DVD (see below)
