Years later, Goodtimes released the budget tape of the movie. Synapse Films are to soon release McBain on Blu Ray from a newly restored 2K transfer. Rifftrax released a video on demand version of the movie on January 25, 2013, including the running mocking commentary by stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 including Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett.[3]
