CUTS:
- R0 Hong Kong- Panorama - No cuts (106:18 NTSC).
- R0 United Kingdom- Blue Light - No Cuts - Does NOT contain the additional narration as found on the American R1.
- R1 America- Buena Vista Home Entertainment - No cuts. From IMDB: "North American DVD release in 2003 features additional narration by the lead character "Ash" - most notably during the pre-credits battle scene, and at the end of the film, the latter of which initially played out without any dialogue. As a result of the added narration, the enigmatic ending becomes easier to understand for North American viewers."

- R2 Collector's Edition France- Universal Pictures - No cuts
- R2 Germany- Kinowelt - No cuts
- R2 Special Edition Holland- A-Film Home Entertainment - No cuts
