Double Take VHS
1 OF 1 · NO RESTOCK
"Double Take" hit home video in 2001 through Buena Vista, the theatrical arm of Disney that was deep in the business of releasing comedy capers on tape even as DVD was actively eating VHS's lunch. This is a full-clamshell VHS release of the Eddie Griffin and Orlando Jones mistaken-identity thriller, where a clean-cut finance executive and a street hustler swap identities and spend the back half of the film outrunning the DEA and a Mexican cartel simultaneously. One copy. Pre-owned.
2001 was a strange hinge year for VHS. Studios had not yet sunset the format officially, but the writing was on every Best Buy shelf. Buena Vista still pressed full runs, still printed clamshells with the same care they had in 1995, and "Double Take" got a proper release with the cast front and center. Eddie Griffin was coming off "Deuce Bigalow" and a string of stand-up specials that had him legitimate in the comedy lane. Orlando Jones had "7UP yours" burned into a generation of brains and was crossing over into features. The film leaned into the body-swap chaos hard, with border crossings, double-agent twists, and a comedic pacing that owed more to '80s action-comedy than anything the early 2000s were producing. Buena Vista knew what they had: a broad comedy with two leads who could carry physical gags and rapid-fire dialogue, and they packaged it accordingly. The cover art codes the energy correctly. If you were renting comedies in 2001, this was on the wall.

This copy shows rental history. There is a rental sticker visible on the clamshell, which puts it in the video-store pipeline rather than a retail shelf pull. The tape itself and the clamshell integrity are what you want to confirm in person or from the photos. Rental copies from this period sometimes show sticker residue on the spine or corner wear on the clamshell hinge. The spine label is the first thing to check: look at it under light for any peel or print fade before you commit.
OWNER VERIFY: Confirm the release year as 2001 Buena Vista pressing and check the tape window for ribbon condition before playback.

The Rental Counter
Before streaming flattened the difference between movies, VHS was a physical act. Rentals, buybacks, Blockbuster sleeves, promo tapes, ex-rentals with security stickers still on the side. y2k tapes outlived the stores they came from. We keep them in their original cases where possible and note every sticker, sun-fade, and sleeve crease in the photography.
