Home Media
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:
“Funny ain’t it. Here I am worrying about a woman. Men don’t worry much about women when they’re around. But when it gets way off from home like we are now, and where he knows he’s going a lot further away ... I mean that’s when a woman gets workin’ in your mind. You reckon you’re a fool for not noticin’ before how, how big a part of things they be. There ain’t nothin’ like seein’ a woman’s face.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
