details

• Theatrical release includes a scene where Brenda is in a movie theater watching Shakespeare in Love (1998) and says of Gwyneth Paltrow: "Brad Pitt's ex-girlfriend is a real freak. She dressed up like a man." After the initial release, producer Harvey Weinstein allegedly changed his mind about the joke, feeling that it was disrespectful to Paltrow and requested its removal future versions of the picture. On all home-video and foreign releases the offending line has been redubbed to "She's about to get it on with Shakespeare. She dressing like a man."
  
  
• Director Keenen Ivory Wayans shot alternate footage of most racy/explicit scenes for the TV version.
  
  
• The trailers exhibit dialogue and scenes not in the final film:
  • In the opening sequence, after Drew says ''Oh I farted I didn't think you'd hear'', the killer replies ''Oh, stinky!''.
  • A scene parodying Scream's infamous rules of a horror movie that features Shorty telling the rules.
  • A scene parodying the sequence in Scream in which the remaining party guests watch Halloween.
  
  
  
• The DVD has six additional scenes - Hop Along Shorty: a love scene for Marlon Wayans' charatcer shorty. - Ray Calls A Play: an extended scene on the football field. - Bobby's Lesson: an added part to Bobby and Cinny's love scene - Gail gets survelliance camera: a scene similiar to the scene in the oringinal Scream where Gail sets up a camera at the party. - Shorty Watches Girl on Surveillance Camera: Shorty thinks he's watching a horror movie but he is actually watching a murder. - Cinny's Last Stand: an extended ending.
  
  
• In the scene where Buffy is being killed in the locker room a sequence was removed from the DVD version of the film. The killer is stabbing Buffy and she is holding her guts up and saying something to the effect of "Ooooo look at my guts!" etc. Instead the DVD cuts right to the part where her head gets chopped off. Also when her severed head gets dumped into the Lost and Found it shows her talking severed head.
  
  
• In the French version, two differences in dialogue are made in the beginning. When the killer says "I wanna see what your guts look like!" (or something to that effect), Drew replies "well, turn to the centrefold!" Killer: "Whats your favourite scary movie?" Drew: Uh... 'Space Jam.' Killer: That's not a scary movie! Drew: It is if you've seen Michael Jordan act!
  
  
• A bootleg VHS version circulating after the film's theatrical released in England contained extra footage not present on the DVD. Here are some of the differences:
  • The bootleg copy had been panned and scanned from the Super-35 negative (you can tell because when Gail shoots the boy behind her, you see the crash pad he lands on)
  • In the booleg, just before Doofy tells the crowd of reporters that "Gail swallows", he asks if anyone wants to smell his finger
  • A short sequence in the bootleg sees Shorty in the cafeteria saying, "Damn I got the munchies! I wonder what they have for lunch?" He then looks at the menus which say "Same old shit"
  • Brenda's dialogue about Gwyneth Paltrow, where she says "Brad Pitt's ex-girlfriend is a real freak, she dressed up like a man" was present in the bootleg cut
  • The sequence with Drew's boyfriend was different in the bootleg edition. The boyfriend was different, and the editing was slightly altered in comparison to the DVD
  • "Bobby's Lesson", one of the deleted scenes on the DVD, was integrated into the movie in the bootleg copy
  • The black news reporter in the van didn't have his voice dubbed in the bootleg. He doesn't say "reporting live for Black TV", but instead something that sounds like "reporting live for B.E.T."
  • The Budweiser advert parody was not in the bootleg edition
  • More sexual jokes about Cindy's mam were made just before Cindy comes to see the principal in the bootleg. At one point, the Sheriff gets on the table and thrusts into it, pretending to be having sex, and as Cindy walks in the principal says something along the lines of "well, thanks for clearing up my back problem, Sheriff"
  • Just after this, a little more dialogue between Doofy and the principal was present in the bootleg.
  • The scene where the killer phones someone and asks what their favourite scary movie is wasn't in the bootleg
  • Buffy's death was more gory in the bootleg, including her intestines being pulled out
  • When Cindy asks Bobby about a PG-13 relationship, when she opens her night gown she has a hairy chest (in another version of the film, she has six nipples)
  • Cindy's scream at the end was longer in the bootleg cut and the shot just cuts to black so we don't see her get run over.
  
  
  
• In the bootleg VHS version:
  • There's a extended sex scene between Cindy and Bobby, where Cindy draws a map of her body to Bobby to find the right point.
  • When Cindy, Buffy and Brenda are arriving at school there's a extended talk scene, where's Buffy tells that she saw in the newspaper a horrible picture of Drew died wearing clothes that doesn't match.
  
  
  
• In the German version the answer to the Killer's question "What's your favourite scary movie?" is changed from "Kazaam" to "Spice World", mocking the Spice Girls' acting instead of Shaq's.
  
  
• The US VHS version shows the penis through the head scene a few seconds longer than the DVD.
  
  
• The overseas version cuts most of the sex clips including Ray's flirting with the boys in the locker room, and the penis through the head. It also cuts the the scene when Greg finds the picture of his little thing in the Boys locker room, and Cindy's conversation with gym teacher Miss Man.
