- Two versions of the plane recognition scene exist. On the 2001 VCI/Cinema Club DVD, Patrick Mower's ad lib "No, but I know a Fokker when I see one" is used. This was removed prior to the film's theatrical release in favour of a different take featuring the scripted response "well, Bristols usually come in pairs" in order to get to get a lower certificate. The Bristols version is the one used on BBC TV and the later 2003 Special Edition DVD release included both versions.
- To avoid a UK AA certificate (thus excluding anyone under 14 years old) the film was cut by the BBFC to heavily reduce the topless nudity in the 'Trousers and nothing else' scene, and to replace Patrick Mower's line of 'I know a Fokker when I see one' to 'Bristols usually come in pairs'. The 1987 video release featured the same cut cinema print, though for the 2001 VCI DVD the cuts were fully restored. The later 2003 Special Edition release featured both versions of the film.
