Was Samurai Pizza cats legally released in R1?? I saw this listing on Amazon and it looks suspicious.

It hasn't been released in the states and that is a complete fake (as I've seen this item already) thus this is an illegal version

Well, the Amazon listing mentions that the DVD is an import, so it's possible that the DVD was a Canadian release (the DVD is Region 1 and, by and large, bootlegs tend to be region-free). The show hasn't seen a U.S. release, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been released elsewhere in the Region 1 area.

No it isn't and I've seen this on another forun and someone did notice that is was a pirate DVD and wasn't a official release

hard to say.

The only thing that I can comment on is that I know that Saban did release a copy of the Samuria Pizza Cat Movie on VHS around about 1995. However this one was episode 52-53 The Big Comet Caper (Part 1 & 2) joined together as an extra long episode.

I would think that a "R1 Import" would raise more red flags than an R0 Import. How many DVDs are released in Canada that aren't in the US? Not to mention, something that a US company holds the rights to (as far as I know)?
