Don't know if there's a difference but the current USA disc has a messed up 5.1 audio track. Rhino is planning on re-releasing the movie at some point, maybe this year.

The Rhino DVD is the original theatrical cut, including the original opening credits (previous video editions added in a Star Wars-style text scroll) and the "Oh s**t!" line.
However, as noted above the 5.1 track is screwed up. Rhino actually turned the entire soundstage sideways. Sounds that should be coming from your front Left, Center, and Right instead come from the Center, Front Right, and Surround Right (or is it left? I forget whether they turned the soundstage clockwise or counter-clockwise, but regardless it's a mess).
The Canadian DVD I think is not the theatrical cut. It's the old video cut (Star Wars scroll and no profanity) and the soundtrack is plain stereo.

For some reason, this struck me as very funny . . .Maybe it's because I don't own a copy.
