I own both "The Visitors" and "Just Visiting" on VHS. They are two different movies.
"The Visitors" -the version that I have - is "Les Visiteurs" with English subtitles. It specificially says it is subtitled on the back, so I'd look for that version if you want to be sure you're not getting the remake. The only English heard in the entire movie is in the opening scenes with the French king and the English lady. Otherwise it's original French audio with "yellow subtitles" (the box felt the need to mention that.) I have a VHS, however, and cannot speak for the DVDs.
"Just Visiting" is a different movie, the American remake which occurs in Chicago and has Christina Applegate -- along with the original two "Les Visiteurs" actors.
Sorry to be confusing - summary - "Just Visiting" is the remake. "The Visitors" is just the English title of the original French film.
And of course as I'm hitting post I realize how old this question is... sorry :P
