** A Region-Free Blu-Ray version has been released in Europe and Australia, and will be released in the U.S. in the coming months. However, this has been censored (see the main page), so this still applies, unfortunately.

* DirectToVideo: Bizarrely, in its ''home country'' - Lorimar Motion Pictures had planned to give it a North American theatrical release, but Michael's manager (and along with MJ the film's executive producer) Frank [=DiLeo=] wanted such a high percentage of the box office returns that it was cancelled.
