Apparently some scenes were slotted, "such as the Spetznaz training sequence which was originally planned to film in the snowy shadows of Moscow. Cut for budget and schedule reasons..." in Prevue # 73 vol. 2 n° 33, October 1988 Also in the previous version of the script, Nikolai uses his spear as a weapon in the final battle.   These exclusive pictures appear to be deleted scenes from Red Scorpion! (the guy behind played by Brion James doesn't appear in this torture scene in the actual film)   in the film, we see this scene but without the beast probably a still from the filming   pictures from Japanese program by Herald Film (Japan), German lobbycard from Scotia-Cannon, Prevue, n°73, October 1987 and Cinema (Germany), #137, October 1989
