    As far as I know, this is the only place to stream this movie. The rights to the film are owned by Harvey Weinstein, and Kevin Smith tells the story about how he has been trying for years to dislodge the rights and make a sequel.

    Here’s a summary of the situation.

    Weinstein still owns the rights, in case you were feeling any sort of bad about streaming a movie without paying for it.

      This is why I still buy movies on disc. Not only are they generally higher quality than streaming, but you can’t lose access to the disc when capitalism does its thing.

      I saw him live last year. Sounds like he’s given up trying to get the rights back and just moving on with his next movies that he wants to make before he runs out of time.
