It appears that it was only released in the UK on DVD, but the good news is that it's available. The bad news is that it's PAL.
Review on the Region 0, PAL DVD release here (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=3661).
If you've got a PAL player, you can buy it here (http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID.529885/qx/details.htm).
they've been showing the shit out of this recently (widescreen, uncut) on Fox Movie Channel. i havent watched it but i did see that clip or two on Decade Under The Influence. it looked crazy.
Panic in Needle Park was directed by Jerry Schatzberg, a former fashion photographer who also directed Pacino in Scarecrow, an overlooked 1973 film that should be put on DVD, with its wonderful widescreen Vilmos Zsigmond cinematography. Schatzberg also made Honeysuckle Rose, the Willie Nelson star vehicle from 1980 which ain't on DVD, and also Street Smart, the 1987 Christopher Reeve drama that launched Morgan Freeman's career. Fortunately, Street Smart is on DVD.
Finally! according to Davisdvd.com panic in needle park will be released on October 18th. No details whatsoever though.
