Alternate versions

The TNT/TBS cable TV version cut the graphic violence and gory explosions and made usual adjustments to language but sometimes would omit the Moscow ending and end right after Blade and Karen say goodbye.

As of 2017, the SyFy Channel/USA Network cable TV version surprisingly leaves most of the graphic violence intact but omits any F-bombs.

German version, beside the "Not under 18" rating, was put on the BPJS index, meaning it may not be advertised or shown to minors. Therefore a cut version was created with ca. 14 minutes of footage removed. This version is rated "Not under 16" and was also shown on TV.

In the original theatrical release, about 5 seconds more footage of "Mortal Kombat" is shown close-up on the TV in Frost's penthouse, but is gone on the video release.
