- The UK cinema version was cut by around 10 minutes by the BBFC to heavily edit scenes of animal violence including a race between cheetahs and ostriches, and to remove a castration, a scalping, and a man being eaten by a lion in front of his family. UK censor James Ferman later described it as 'one of the most vile and objectionable films ever submitted to the BBFC'.
- The uncut version runs at 94-95 minutes film/NTSC, 90-91 minutes PAL video format.
- The Japanese DVD released by Panorama is uncut. However, its master source was a PAL tape, and therefore runs at the uncut PAL running time of 91 minutes, even though it is NTSC format.
- The 1980s Dutch VHS is uncut and runs at 94 minutes.
- The 1986 Australian VHS release from Palace Video has minor cuts made to it and runs at 88-89 minutes PAL format (about 92 minutes NTSC).
- The USA DVD from the "Grindhouse Experience" box set from Fortune 5 DVD uses the Palace Video VHS as its master source and therefore runs at the same time (NTSC format, however).
- In certain versions, the text introducing the mercenary hunt of the natives is run in front of a black background, while other versions have the text run in front of shots of the mercenaries. There is no censor-worthy material during the text, which means distributors are likely supplied with these prints. The black background is not meant for cutting the scene.
