Alternate versions for
Friday the 13th Part III (1982) More at IMDbPro »

• The new broadcast television print, as seen on Spike TV, not only removes all references to Debbie being pregnant, but it also removes many of Chuck and Chili's opening scenes to omit the minor marijuana references. In fact, the first time we see either of them is when the whole group is standing over the old man in the road.
  
  
• In 2009 a 3d version with 3d glasses was put onto DVD.
  
  
• The following scenes were cut to avoid an "X" rating from the MPAA:
  • The death scene of Andy showed his right leg and stomach being cut apart.
  • Vera's death was longer, it included more blood and a shot of her reaction. It was cut because the board said that it looked too real.
  • Edna's death was cut of excess blood.
  • The impaling of Chili with the hot poker was cut. Originally, the impalement was shown, along with a splash of smoldering blood.
  • Debbie's death originally showed blood spraying across her upper half and face.
  
  
  
• The UK video version was cut by the BBFC by 4 seconds to remove a brief shot of Andy's sliced body and a closeup of Vera's eye pierced with a harpoon, and to reduce the knife piercing Debbie's chest. The cuts were waived in 2001. The British version will now include extra gore to Andy, Debbie and Vera's death, as seen earlier in the year on the Sci-Fi channel.
  
  
• The Norwegian video-version is uncut with an 18 rating.
  
  
• The original ending of Jason cutting off Chris head was meant to be a dream sequence. It was followed by Chris waking up screaming in the back of the police car. This "dream" scene was cut and replaced by the other "dream" scene with Jason's rotted mother jumping out of the lake and grabbing Chris.
  
  
• Another alternate ending had Ali surviving; Chris opens the door to find Jason, but is scared by Ali. They both get away. Soon after, the paramedics arrive, only to never find Jason's body.
