In Her Line of Fire was released under the name "Air Force Two" in other countries. This alternate version deleted all references to Sergeant Major Lynn Delaney being lesbian, in both dialog and kiss scene between Delaney and Sharon Serrano. Viewers who watch Air Force Two are not seeing the original release.
Director Brian Trenchard-Smith called this a "lesbian Rambo movie." He was hired by a company called Regent Entertainment to make this and Tides of War (2005), which Trenchard-Smith called a "gay submarine movie," for their gay/lesbian Here Network. Both movies had to be made in two versions, gay and straight, for different distribution deals. In Her Line of Fire was the lesbian version and Air Force 2 cut out any reference to lesbians and two female/female kiss scenes. Trenchard-Smith said editing that film was easy because "It's not like there was extensive muff diving or dildo manipulation," which, he added, "Could have been fun though." Tides of War was the gay version of the submarine film and Phantom Below was the "straight version," though Trenchard-Smith said he always thought that would have been a much better title for the gay version. He even jokingly suggested doing a third version called Pink Torpedo: The Musical, but Regent didn't like the idea.
