The original release also contained the hit "Modern Girl" from Bad Attitude, which came out at about the same time.

Hits Out of Hell had a collection of Meat Loaf's music Videos of the late 1970s and 1980s, which came out simultaneously with the album release.

A VHS version of Hits Out of Hell was later released in the United Kingdom and included the music video for "Dead Ringer for Love".

In the original video for "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" as released to television and in 35mm prints, the male/female "Hot Summer Night" prologue from "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" was spoken live by Jim Steinman and Karla DeVito before the song performance.

On this compilation, the prologue was removed and spliced in front of the video for "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth", ostensibly to properly replicate the album Bat Out of Hell, and the video for "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" goes right into the performance.
