The home video version cuts a second scene from the TV mini-series: After Torpedo blows up the whirlpool and G.I. Joe and Cobra land on the island, there is a short scene where the Baroness tries to raise Zartan on the radio, demanding that he acknowledge her transmission. Zartan replies that he will acknolwedge her when it suits him, and not before. The scene (and video) then cuts to the Guard Statue in the Palace of Doom coming to life.
