Release
Despite being a shot-on-video project, the movie was transferred to film and given a limited release theatrically in the United States by Coast Films in 1983. It was later released on VHS by Paragon Video Productions.[3]
The film was officially released on special edition DVD by Code Red DVD in 2008.[4] This version is currently out of print.
