Release history
In early 1990, Toho entered discussions with Miramax to distribute the film. When talks broke off, Toho filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court, accusing Miramax of entering an oral agreement in June to pay Toho $500,000 to distribute the film. This lawsuit delayed the film's release for two years. An out of court settlement was reached with Miramax buying the rights to the film for an unreported figure. Miramax would have entertained thoughts of releasing the film in theaters, but in the end it was decided to release the film straight to home video instead.

Home video releases
The international version was first released in the United States by HBO on VHS in 1992 and Laserdisc in 1993. They are both in 1.85:1 aspect ratio.

It later saw a release in Hong Kong by Mei Ah on Laserdisc and VIdeo-CD in 1996. These releases also contain the international version, albeit in a open matte 1.33:1 aspect ratio and with video-generated Chinese subtitles.

The English dub track was also included on the 2012 Blu-Ray and DVD releases by Echo Bridge Entertainment through Miramax.
