• R1 Full Screen Edition America- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment - No cuts.
• R2 France- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment - No cuts.
• R2 Germany- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment - No cuts.
• R2 Holland- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment - No cuts.
• R2 Norway- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment - Yes. 0m 10s - "Approximately 10 seconds of footage has been excised at the 77:10 point. This is when Josh and Billy are having an argument in Josh's office. The cut occurs immediately after Josh says "I've got a deadline to meet. God!". The reason for the cut is that Billy utters the 'f' word in his very next line. Several other subsequent lines have also been cut in order for the remainder of the scene to make some sort of sense without the edit being obvious. The net effect of this cut is that this scene appears unnaturally shortened, seems somewhat disjointed and has less impact than the uncensored version."
