- When released in the UK, the fourth part of this film, entitled Angel Cop 4:
- Pain, was cut by 7 seconds by the BBFC. These cuts removed breast exposure and breasts being scratched and the subsequent shot of bloody scratch marks on the breasts.
- When released in the UK, in four parts, the first part, entitled Angel Cop 1: Special Security Force, was cut by 2 seconds with the following BBFC justification:
- "Here is a scene we cut from Angel Cop. This is a highly political piece of anime, set in the near future where the Japanese government have set up a special task force to deal with terrorists. This is the point where several members of the Red Dawn Communist group are confronted by Angel, who literally blows out the brains of one of the terrorists, which is pure mutilation."
- The dub script, used in the release by Manga Entertainment, was changed to remove anti-Semitic themes and storylines, including removing references to 'the worldwide Jewish conspiracy' that was behind the group known as the Red May. Other events and dialog were changed to remove other possible controversial dialog.
