It's a foreign release but has an english audio version of the film, extra's probably unwatchable to me but i can live with that for £1.
Been meaning to get this for a while, had a few beers earlier and watching it now, still completely mental, a audio/visual assault on the senses.

Also was given this from work because they couldn't find the case, used to watch it as a kid. Dodgy but fun in a nostalgic messed up kinda way.
Saw this myself for the first time recently - decidedly mixed feelings - some amazing images and satire but Jodorowskys use of animals as expendable props and his use of deformed/disabled people as signifiers of 'weird' really began to grate on me. The toad massacre scene summed it up - from inspired to unwatchable in five minutes.
