In July 2001, LSI Communications Inc., a company then best known for releasing the "Karl Malone's Body Shop" series of workout videos, acquired the rights to "Bad Charleston Charlie" (along with "Gregorio and His Angel" starring Broderick Crawford and "The Caged Man") from Cinevision Inc. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. LSI Communications merged with Peregrine Inc. using a reverse stock swap in February 2002 and shed a number of assets in the ensuing reorganization. In late 2008, the "Los Angeles Times" reported that this "lousy 1970s movie" was available on videotape but not on DVD.
