Production
Originally, Kunihiko Ikuhara envisaged that Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were going to be the main characters in the Super S film, and it was going to be independent of the main series. Sailor Neptune was going to be in a deep sleep at the end of the world, and Sailor Uranus would have had to steal the talismans from the Sailor Senshi to revive her. However, both Ikuhara and producer Iriya Azuma left the series. Ikuhara's concepts were later used in Revolutionary Girl Utena.
The film's English adaptation, produced by Pioneer and Optimum Productions was released in both edited and unedited versions. The cut version, seen in the VHS and television formats, used the original DIC music from the series, and had the transformation sequences airbrushed to remove bodylines that were tracing the characters' breasts. The uncut version, only seen in the DVD release, kept the original Japanese music and bodylines. A special uncut subtitled version of the film had earlier been released to VHS on August 31, 1999.
