- The version of the film shown on US broadcast television alters two scenes. The opening scene of a couple making out in car with only their legs showing has been replaced with a montage of scenes from later in the film when Philly and Lester are burying the body. The bathtub scene where Ms. Mallo takes a bath with Philly has been completely removed with the exception of a single question. In the original version, Ms. Mallow asks Philly if he would like to take a bath with her. He says "Yes" and the scenes continues. On television, he says "No" and the scene ends.
- All UK versions are substantially cut by the BBFC under the Protection of Children Act. A total of 3 minutes 20 secs were originally removed from all scenes showing a nude Sylvia Kristel and the boy in the same shot - thus heavily reducing the striptease, bath and 2 sex scenes. The 2006 release has been pre-edited by the distributors and suffers the same cuts.
- In Australia, the film was banned for cinema and on video and cut more than once by 10+ minutes cut for 'R' (18+) rating because of the 'sexual exploitation of a minor'.
- Ms Mallow (Sylvia Kristel) undresses in front of Philly (Howard Hesseman). This scene does not seem cut, but it is the most obvious place for the often-mentioned full-frontal nudity.
- Philly shares a bath with Ms Mallow. There is possibly a brief cut (the missing 00:02?) after Ms Mallow says, 'I'll wash your shoulders'. Philly then smiles nervously. It seems slightly cut between this and the next frontal shot where Ms Mallow kisses Philly on the cheek.
- Philly and Ms Mallow arrive home and are going to have sex for the first time. The scene ends after Philly leaves the room when he senses Ms Mallow does not love him. Nothing seems cut here.
- Ms Mallow and Philly have sex for the first time. This scene has been modified as none of the sex is shown. Philly shouting, 'Ms Mallow, are you okay' plays out over a slow-motion pan over the bedroom floor. The footage seems to have been deliberately slowed to mask a cut.
- Ms Mallow and Philly say goodbye. The scene ends with them collapsing on the bed together. Nothing seems cut here.
