Alternate versions

The UK cinema version was cut by 56 secs to delete footage of nunchakus from two scenes, and the cuts were expanded to 1 min 7 secs for the video release. The cuts were fully restored in the 15 rated 2001 DVD.

A small scene that is not in the final cut. It has Kristen (Tuesday Knight) saying "I Knew you'd be back" before she is thrown in the fire.

14 seconds worth of gore was cut in the German theatrical and VHS releases to secure a "Not under 18" rating. Although removed from the index list in 2015, only in 2020 was the uncut version granted a "Not under 18" rating.

Cut in Sweden by 5 min when shown in theaters.

In the original theatrical release, when Freddy puts on sunglasses in the beach scene, the sound track contained a short Miami Vice-like riff. This has been removed in subsequent releases.

The dialogue from the film playing inside the movie theater when Alice first walks in and sits down can be heard in the original theatrical version and on earlier VHS editions, but the dialogue has been dubbed out from later VHS and DVD releases so that you can only hear the background piano music instead. The missing audio can be heard on Blu-ray if you select the "English Original Theatrical" audio track, but is missing from the "English DTS-HD Master Audio" track. Oddly enough, if you play the film with the closed captions or subtitles features, the dialogue will still appear on screen, even though nobody can be heard talking. The missing dialogue is as follows:

• Man: See ya, Alvin.
• Boy: Hey, he ain't no paper man.
• Girl: Why, don't you know him? That's "Hot Fingers" Curly.
• Boy: Boy, he really swings out hoppin' with a jive. You want to dance?
• Girl: Do I?
