Wow... I don't know why I didn't think about requesting this myself earlier! I am a huge fan of this film as well, but of course all I have is a VHS copy over on the rack there. I keep waiting for a DVD release to no avail. Wasn't aware of the international versions, but it sounds like they all have their issues (not being in English, in particular, except for the Japanese version which apparently is a botched transfer).
I second the request and plea for someone in Canada to cap this. Would love to see a HD2DVD conversion akin to Rad! and the pre-official release Twilight Zone: The Movie.
