I saw the movie also and loved it. Can never forget the under-the-car scene. If anyone ever finds a copy (DVD or tape), let me know.

I am also eagerly awaiting its release. I saw it in 1977 as well and have constantly checked for a dvd release. If it ever gets released, please let me know -@ lanceford11@aol.com

A new DVD company called Scorpion Releasing has it on their release schedule, though no release date has been announced as yet. I'm looking forward to seeing it as it's been a must-see for me ever since I saw the eye-catching and imposing poster when it played at my local theatre during its initial release. Unfortunately, I was under-age and my father refused to take me, so it's been a long wait.

I saw "The Farmer" in the summer of 1978 when I was stationed at Ft Benning Ga. Can you imagine watching this movie at the base theater with a bunch of young infantrymen?! It was and remains one of the best "payback" flicks I have ever seen. Perhaps one day we will see it available again.

Hollywood has put out a lot a garbage in it's years, this movie was so not one of them. I can't believe it's obscurity? Everything on this movie is rare! I even bought the LP 33 movie soundtrack years ago and had it sent away to be converted to cd. Man it turned out perfect! Did you know that this movie was first released rated X, due to the extreme graphic violence throughout? yes cool, a real mans movie! anyway it was cut back to an R rating so more could actually watch it, it was released by Milway productions which this was the one and only one movie they produced and then they went bankrupt. Columbia pictures came to the rescue and bought up the rights and socked it away in their vaults for hopefully not ever, this movie grossed highest in the world in Italy, Code Red will come through, they just want to put out quality stuff, I saw this when I was 17, today I am old (49) I told my wife if I die and then they release this movie to buy a copy and put in inside my urn of ashes on the fireplace so I can see it from the "otherside" if you want a copy of this cool soundtrack let me know 5klogiudice@comcast.net

You are mistaken. It was released U.S. theatres in 1977

This movie actually came out in 1973, not 1977, I saw it in high school with my girlfriend just before I joined the air force in November. Maybe that's why you can't find it, you are looking at the wrong year

I am also awaiting the release of The Farmer. I saw it in 1977 as well and remember it as being excellent. If it ever gets released – please let me know. I have been searching for it for years.

Great movie, the farmer was directed by David Berlatsky, I also saw the movie in 77 at a drive inn while in the Marine Corps ( oceanside ). I found David's phone # in the white pages a year or so ago and called him to ask him about the release of the movie. David is a nice guy, and told me there was an issue with the sound writes. He also stated the movie would be out by now ! David is in his 70s now and still working in the Hollywood area. I will write him a letter soon and ask him about the films release and maybe find out where it stands for release, I will pass on my ifo. Regards AW
