DVD Extras

• Two instrumental versions, lengths 1:23 and 0:17, appear during the product launch scenes, at approximately 11:25 and 20:50. They seem to be derived from the normal instrumental version, although it is hard to tell due to the film dialogue.
• A 2:32 edit of the single version is heard over the end credits. This version fades out over about 5 seconds, just before the instrumental section begins. It also begins with a slightly different sound effect, which ties in with the film.

The DVD release also adds two further versions:

• The photo gallery features a 1:58 edit of the version heard over the credits, which fades out before the 'visions I have seen' verse.
• The promo video uses the normal single version, but features Peter Cushing right at the end, saying 'I'm a restless sort of guy'. It features the band in full flying gear.

The film also features a short, 13 second instrumental edit of 'Another One Bites The Dust'. This appears on the DVD at 28:51.
