On its AMC airing, the music is slowed down and plays by 0.85

Up until 2017, all UK versions of the film were cut by one second to remove a head-butt to secure a 12A/12 rating. The BBFC waived the cut to the theatrical version on January 5th 2017 for its 15th anniversary Blu-ray release. The director's cut had the cut waived when submitted in 2005, but the release itself is still (pointlessly) censored, even throughout Europe as the same master was used. Although it carries an overall 15 rating, this is only due to bonus features - the film itself is a 12 as per the theatrical version.

The Region 1 DVD contains 11 deleted/extended scenes. They are as follows:

• Gibbons observing as two other NSA agents argue against having an average citizen as a secret agent, then give Gibbons the green light.
• Xander rides in the economy class of an airplane and explains his mission to a teenage boy, telling him that it's all part of a first person shooter video game.
• Extended version of Xander's arrival in Prague, where the Ivans stand guard while Xander tries to take a nap.
• Additional footage before Xander enters the techno dance club.
• The Ivans discovering the blood splatter dart after Xander shoots the police officer.
• Extended party scene in the castle, containing a more explicit version of the pole dance scene (which was later trimmed down for a PG13 rating).
• R-Rated version of Yorgi receiving a phone call from someone with information on Xander Cage. It features three nude girls on a bed behind him (the R1 DVD has it blurred out).
• Additional dialogue after Xander's "Nothing like Fresh Powder" line between Xander and Gibbons regarding Xander disobeying orders.
• Extended version of the Prague police raid on Yorgi's castle.
• Additional dialogue between Xander and Yelena on Bora Bora, where Xander asks Yelena how long she can hold her breath.
