- The first cut, which was supervised by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and The Beatles themselves, ran for 210 minutes. It was screened at a private screening room on 20th July, 1969. According to Mark Lewishon's The Complete Beatles Chronicle, a second version was edited in the absence of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This new cut (with a considerable amount of "John and Yoko" footage cut out) became the 81-minute release that made the cinemas.
- The 56 hours of film footage and over 150 hours audio captured during the making of Let It Be (1970) was digitally restored and remastered by Peter Jackson and his crew at Weta Digital in New Zealand. Originally intended to be re-edited into a theatrical-length feature to be released in 2020 (the 50th Anniversary of Let It Be). The film was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was re-edited into a three-part miniseries (now running at 7 hours 48 minutes in total) titled; The Beatles: Get Back (2021-2021).
- There are bootleg tapes that exist of some footage not used in the final release, including a moment where Peter Sellers visits the band.
