When I had a video rental business, this shit rented so well it was ridiculous. My brother and I were just mystified by not only this stuff, but the absolutely terrible straight to DVD horror movies that people always grabbed. We'd be trying to get people to rent more awesome stuff and they'd be all "Nah, I'm gonna get Boa Vs Python".
One regular that came into our store literally rented every movie that came in. Whenever our shipment came we put aside 1 copy of each movie, no matter what it was, and hed rent and watch it.
