The movie was released in Canada in 1991, under the Black Pearls name, but was not released in the United States until 1994, where it was released directly to video by Imperial Entertainment under the Fearless Tiger name. In Canada, the movie flopped at the box office. The movie has been released on DVD in the UK, and in the United States as a double feature with Death Machines from EastWest Entertainment. A new special edition DVD is in the works, but as of April 4, 2011, nothing else has been announced.
