- A region-free USA DVD is available from Blue Underground. This version runs at over 100 minutes and is completely uncut, featuring all the hardcore footage and 'snuff' footage.
- There is a German version of the film that has all hardcore footage, plenty of the 'snuff' footage and the infamous scene involving the horse cut.
- There is a cut Italian print (approx 93 minutes in length). Instead of simply dubbing over the English dialogue. The English dialogue is translated and dubbed immediately after the English lines are spoken, so dialogue in both languages is present.
- The version that was released on home video in the United States by VidAmerica (and also shown on cable television) is a much trimmed version. All of the violence and nearly all of the sex is cut. The most notorious scene, where Emanuelle uncovers a couple making love while watching a "snuff" film, is trimmed so severely that what is happeing on the film is barely hinted at, whereas the original shows the torture film in graphic detail.
- The version submitted to the BBFC in 1987 was heavily pre-cut by around 13 minutes to remove all of the hardcore footage so that it would be certified '18' instead of 'R18' (R18 videos/DVDs may only be sold in licensed sex shops). The BBFC cut a further 5 minutes 42 seconds including most of the snuff footage (eroticized sexual violence) and the horse masturbation (bestiality/animal cruelty). The final cut that was released on video has virtually no sex/nudity whatsoever.
