My recollection from reading the book "Killer Instinct" was that Warner backed down from releasing the DC of the film. Stone's contract required that it be released on video if an "R" couldn't be achieved for the theatrical release. Therefore Warner agreed to license it to Vidmark in the U.S for home video. I don't know how long this license was for.

I'm pretty sure Warner still owns the rights, it's just a matter of how long the license is with Trimark. Warner has released the uncut version on DVD in other regions under the "Warner Home Video" label, so maybe it'll be released overseas.

If I have anything incorrect here, feel free to correct me. It's been many years since I read the book.
