 In the Universal Laserdisc and Video versions, the scene where Flash suggests  using the curtains as parachutes while Zarkov flags down Mings shuttle, as  well as the scene where the young boy in Prince Barins tribe asks to undergo  the woodbeast test (complete with the shots of the beast inside) are cut.  Also missing is Dales fight with the guards & Mings face from the meteor  that attacks the plane. These scenes are restored on the Image DVD version.
