- Ron Karabatsos played Rand in scenes deleted from the theatrical version. Rand is the police detective Axel Foley referred to when speaking to Inspector Todd.
- 2020 Blu-ray remaster includes two new unreleased deleted scenes as bonus features - Axel questions a Detroit mobster he's friendly with following Mikey's killing, and footage of his packing and preparing for the trip to Beverly Hills. These scenes were likely cut for pacing reasons.
- West German theatrical version was cut for violence to secure a "Not under 12" rating from the FSK.
- The scene where Mikey is murdered has been altered for streaming. In the original theatrical release, the first gun shot has a muzzle flash. That flash has been removed and covered with a digital shadow.
- Also shown on TV in an alternate "less explicit" language version.
