I have an old Vhs recording from about 20 years ago, that runs at about 80 minutes. I think it's an excellent film and would love to see the longer version.

Wondering the same thing. The new DVD, as many have pointed out, is only ~84 mins, anyone know where to get the longer version? Does it even exist in print?

I don't know, but you might prefer the shorter ending.
As of Dec 2021:
The YouTube links and some articles linked elsewhere are now "unavailable," probably due to a copyright strike.
This is the ending the Hollywood Reporter article refers to. It's also the ending I saw today: https://youtu.be/oHWSAZ3fZsQ
Later, I found this longer-montage ending that includes the "reverse-mermaid," some nudity, interacting with animals and other scenes others have described. It appears to add about 5 min to the version I saw:

Though there are some great "Saul Bassy" scenes in the longer one, I personally prefer the one linked at the top. It has more punch.
The Blu Ray is also 84 minutes. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Phase-IV-Blu-ray/103380/
