The film was released on home video on VHS in 1985.
Pat Benatar had mentioned in an interview she regretted having anything to do with the film and that the release of the DVD in NTSC format was being held up by her. She remarked that it was one of the worst movies ever made, and early on made a point of saying so every time she played the song in concert. Her not signing the rights to have her music in the movie is why the DVD has not been released for many years.
In 2009, Columbia Pictures released in Europe a Spanish-titled DVD "La Leyenda de Billie Jean", with 4:3 open matte image, but without any bonus material. A remastered NTSC DVD including commentary by Helen Slater and Yeardley Smith was published by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment at November 1, 2011. Additionally, the movie is available in HD on the Universal Movie Channel.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or media:
“It’s a dangerous thing to be married right up to the hilt, like my daughter’s husband. The man is at home all day, like a damned soul in hell.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
