The film had never been picked up by a German distributor during its initial release phase. Finally, in 2012 it was released by Austrian label Shock Entertainment, which even created a German dubbing (in '70s style). In 2014 the film was released officially for the first time in Germany by Mad Dimension.
Originally rated "X" by the MPAA when released in the U.S in 1978, the rating was lowered to "R" on appeal.
