Versioni alternative: - The European version contains more violence in the opening sequence and throughout the picture. In the final battle several more shots and closeups of gory deaths are added. It runs for about 3 minutes longer than the American R-rating. - The Director's Cut version is 116 minutes long, including about 20 minutes of graphic footage originally removed to avoid an NC-17 rating. Scenes Included in the 116min Directors Cut Include: - Additional dialog at the beginning where Van Cleef tels Lopaki (the guy with the arrows) that he shoots like a buffoon and next time he will charge him double. - The ear cutting scene is intact. - A three minute scene of dialog between Natasha and Chance which takes place in Chance's apartment. She is patching him up after the beating he got while looking for dog tag, he puts the moves on her, she leaves then comes back saying she has changed her mind. A still from this scene appears on the liftout that comes with the American DVD release. - While Fouchon is playing the piano there are several shoots of news or documentary footage showing elephants, deer etc being shot down by hunters. This is probably the most disturbing scene in the film. - Before Fouchon drops the letter opener on the floor at the coroners house he has additional dialog that describes what happens when a hunter dies in Africa. - When Roper dies he is shot then gets up and is then hit with another volley of bullets. - When Chance and Natasha firt meet up with Douvee and Chance jump around and start singing before Chance introduces Natasha. - Most of the deaths in the Mardi Gras Graveyard are longer and juicier (people being shot 30 times instead of 10 etc) - In the directors cut the final fight between Chance and Fouchon (in which Chance utters the line "Hunting Season Is Over") is missing. Instead Chance does the runnup as Fouchon shoots, kicks him into the garbage pile, throws the grenade and Fouchon is blown up. - The trailer features a scene in which Van Cleaf utters the line "At least you'll get to meet Elvis". This scene is not in either the 116 min cut or the 97 min cut. - The German rental video is rated FSK16 and runs approx. 73 minutes. The DVD-Version restores the missing footage and runs 95 Min. - A 128 minute cut of Hard Target is rumored to exist, although the 116 minute director's cut is supposed to be John Woo's preferred version.
