Notes:The playing time of the "UK and USA video version" is about the same (83:25) as the US version on Image Entertainment / New Line Home Entertainment while the other two versions are longer. This points to an NTSC to PAL conversion with an effort to reconstruct the longest version possible.

OVERALL: R0
The German Digidreams release for multiple cuts of the film and the most extras.
The following versions of the film are known:
-A shorter version, missing on the following scenes:
--A brief scene of Mrs Goodman saying "I'm coming, I'm coming" as she opens the door to reveal the giant Action Man.
--Extended dialogue during the scene where Joe talks to his budgerigar at his photography studio.
--An entire scene where Rachel & Sam visit their old house (the site of the abduction). Rachel enters the house alone and states that "Someone has been here", before opening the window to remove the smell of gas.
-A longer version including the previous scenes.
-An original ending version in which Bernice arrives home to find the bathroom full of alien eggs. As she goes to have a closer look, one cracks open and an alien "sucker" device (same as the one that came out of the Alien who attacked the blonde woman near the beginning of the film) bursts out off the egg and clamps over her mouth.
-An happy ending version in which Bernice arrives home to find the house filled with exact doubles of her son (which have presumably hatched from the eggs shown earlier in the film) which all say "mummy" as she enters the room.
-The heavily cut German FSK16 version.
A comparison between the German FSK16 version and the uncut German version is available on Schnittberichte. -
