It has been released on DVD but not in the US or UK. I think their is a Japanese dvd (with optical fogging of naughty bits...that could have been on el topo, can't remember) and an Italian company called rarovideo put them out as well...they do a lot of neat stuff. But I'm not sure that those releases are 100% legit either....
There was a big thing about their release being held back. Allen Klein owned (or owns?) the rights and I think wanted a shitload of money for the rights to release a dvd. Him and Jodorowsky had some sort of dispute about it I think but they have apparently buried the hatchet and a DVD of El Topo and The Holy Mountain is supposedly in the pipeline but fuck knows when it's due. I havn't read anything about it for a while though.
And I haven't seen either of them....tempted to get a boot of them.
Santa Sangre is really quite good though....
