- The US Lionsgate DVD is advertised as the Unrated Version though it actually features a badly edited print. Missing are shots of blood spurts during Gary's throat slashing, the teacher with the axe in his head, Brian being hit with a hammer, and shots of a bloody Brian as he falls on the chainsaw. UK releases feature the fully uncut print.
- German VHS release by Concorde/Lightning Video was slightly cut for gore by 20 seconds to qualify for a "Not under 18" rating, nonetheless it was BPjM indexed. The "Not under 16" rated version used on regular German TV airings and also on that one DVD release titled "Highschool Murders" was further cut by two minutes and 31 seconds to have all gore scenes shortened or removed entirely. The BPjM indexing was lifted in 2015 and since then the FSK rated the uncut version "Not under 18".
- When "Cutting Class" is shown on TV, the beginning credits don't show the paperboy throwing the papers along the street, instead, we HEAR the sound of the papers hitting the street, but we see a black background with the normal credits in front of it.
- When shown on TV, all of the death scenes are trimmed by using slow motion shots a la Friday the 13th (1980)
- The Region 2 DVD carrying the Columbia/Tristar logo is completely uncut, including scenes not shown in the U.S.
