Does anyone have any idea if the film is out on DVD, or if it is still being shown in cinemas, and if so, where?

Thanks

Sorry Paul, but that link only takes me to the Grass Arena not Barbaric Genius. There is only a trailer or two for Barbaric Genius on YouTube.

He sounds like a man who was born just a little bit too early - I imagine he would have been a real contender in chess boxing in his prime.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.
