Image's website  lists the film's DVD reissue with special features for US$14.98 on December 7. The only language option listed is English, but the AnimeOnDVD site reports  that Image's website has not always listed foreign films correctly; it has sometimes listed DVDs as English-only when they did have alternate languages.

A group of spacefaring bounty hunters who are hungry and low on cash take on a dangerous job.
