Released in January 1981, this American pressing was one of the first regular release CLV movies on the LaserVision format. Prior to '81, Extended Play releases were limited to a handful of limited pressings of "Animal House," "Deliverance," and "House Calls." As of 1981, the Extended Play format became standard for releasing feature films on the LaserVision format. "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie" and the MCA DiscoVision release of "Heaven Can Wait" are the first two titles issued under this new policy.
