We, the fans of Mickey Rourke, feel that the movie "Homeboy" should be released on DVD. This vastly underrated film has one of Mickey Rourke's best performances and includes Christopher Walken (Oscar nominee for "Catch Me if You Can") in a fantastic supporting role. Rounding out this movie is the wonderful blues soundtrack by Eric Clapton. With the resurgence of Mickey Rourke in 2003, in films such as "Spun," "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," and Bob Dylan's "Masked & Anonymous," this is the perfect time to release this forgotten gem to the DVD format. The release of "Homeboy" on DVD will be of interest to not just fans of Mickey Rourke, but also to fans of Christopher Walken, Debra Feuer ("To Live and Die in L.A.") and Eric Clapton. This DVD release should also interest fans of boxing (the film is often mentioned in boxing newsgroups and message boards).
By signing this petition, we hope to encourage the release of "Homeboy" on DVD.
