CUTS:
- R0 America- Alpha Video - No cuts
- R0 America- Extreme Digital Media - No cuts
- R0 Australia- AV Channel - No cuts
- R0 France- Opening/GCTHV - No cuts - 97:51 min (PAL). Uses a different English dub than the budget US DVD-releases.
- R1 America- Retromedia Entertainment/Image - No cuts. Uses a different English dub than the budget US DVD-releases.
- R1 America- VCI Home Video - No cuts
- R2 Germany- Concorde Home Entertainment - 10 minutes shorter: 87:24 min (PAL - This is most likely due to the non-existence of a German dub for scenes which were cut in the past. Instead of providing these scenes on the DVD in English with German subtitles, they have left them out completely). Uses the same English dub as in the French-release.
