- "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix was played briefly in the film, but included on the soundtrack.
- "Theme from S.W.A.T." was also played in the film and in the theatrical trailer, but was not included on the soundtrack.
- While the soundtrack includes the original version of "Wipe Out", the film uses a different arrangement from series composer Denis M. Hannigan.
- "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge was used in commercials advertising the film's VHS and DVD releases, however, it was not used in the film or included on the soundtrack.
