Alternate versions

In the original theatrical version the scene when the team comes home after a night out runs a little longer. There is some more dialogue in with the theme about "...how they drown cats..." from the beginning of the movie is deepened. This scene was shortened for the video, TV and DVD releases for unknown reasons.

Japanese VHS release was cut by approx. 17 minutes to tighten the pacing of the film.

Several frames of film were removed from the first cut version at the beginning (a close-up of the dead baby on the floor) and end of the movie when Simon visits his burned and dying former comrade in arms at the hospital ICU (some dialogue and several close-ups) to obtain an 16 rating instead of the 18 rating suggested by the FSK after a first screening.
