International versions
According to Carl Macek, when asked by Cannon Films to produce a film version of Robotech, he mentioned he was interested in dubbing and localizing Do You Remember Love? with the voice cast from the series, but Harmony Gold USA was unable to license the film for "whatever political reasons" that he did not know. Megazone 23 Part 1 was used instead.[9]
Originally, two versions of a Toho International-commissioned dub had been released in the United States throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Toho dub (named Super Spacefortress Macross in its on-screen title and Japanese packaging) had been created for export sales in Hong Kong by Matthew Oram and his wife Elizabeth's dubbing company. The better known of the two US releases of the dub is an edited-for-television version renamed Clash of the Bionoids, prepared by Peregrine Film Distribution, Inc. for its broadcast syndication package Dynamagic in 1986 (which included three other Toho International titles).[10] This version was released by Celebrity Home Entertainment's "Just for Kids" label in 1988.[11] The ending was modified from the original Japanese version: the scene with Hikaru calling the Macross after Boddole Zer's explosion was removed, giving the false impression that Hikaru died in the blast. Later, a subtitled version was briefly released before being suppressed due to the ongoing legal battles between Big West/Studio Nue, Tatsunoko and Harmony Gold. Clash of the Bionoids also aired on various local TV stations from 1989-1997 as well as Showtime 2 in 2004.
Robert Woodhead, head of AnimEigo, has said publicly that he would like to release the film (AnimEigo released the first pressings of the Macross series in the US), but believes it will most likely never get a proper DVD release in the United States due to the legal disputes surrounding the film. The movie was released in widescreen in both dubbed and subtitled format by Kiseki Films in the UK on video in the 1990s, but was notably one of their few catalog titles not being released on DVD.
Re-released in the 2000s on DVD,[12] a full 90-minute Swedish dub[12] was released in the 1980s by Wendros, based on the Toho Super Spacefortress Macross version.
Although Big West, Studio Nue, and Harmony Gold reached an agreement to release various Macross sequels outside of Japan in 2021, the official Robotech account on Twitter has stated that Do You Remember Love? remains prohibited as of 2023.[13]
A Japanese 4K resolution remaster version of the film was released as a two pack of an Ultra HD and standard Blu-ray in January 2025. This release included a brand new English subtitle track.
