Shanghai Surprise VHS 1987 - CGC Home Video 9.2 and Seal A+, Slipcase, Vertical Overlap Seal, Bottom Pink Vestron Video Holofoil Sticker Seal, Vestron Video. Shanghai Surprise, the 1986 adventure-comedy film starring Sean Penn and Madonna, is a notorious cinematic misfire that had a confounding effect on fans. The film's convoluted plot, awkward chemistry between the leads, and poorly received performances left audiences bewildered. Its effect on fans was one of disappointment and confusion, as they struggled to find redeeming qualities in the critically panned movie. Shanghai Surprise remains a cautionary tale in Hollywood, celebrated mainly for its status as a notorious flop rather than for any positive impact it had, making it a film best remembered for its shortcomings.

This scarce factory sealed VHS copy of Shanghai Surprise comes in the 1987-dated slipcase with pink holofoil sticker on the bottom. It has received a grade of 9.2 by CGC Home Video, with a Seal grade of A+.
