Some scenes were cut out - probably due to time restraints - when the film students argue about sequels. "The entire horror genre was destroyed by sequels," one character grumps. "It becomes about money and no one's interested in quality." Adds another, "How can Freddy and Jason possibly be scary after they've all been diluted through five or six sequels?"
"Be kind she saved our lives," Sidney says in response to Randy's remarks about Gale at the press conference. Randy replies, "Yeah, I know. I read all about it in the book." But in the final cut, they replaced Randy's line with, "She had calf implants."
In the final cut, Mickey comes up to the gang and informs them how many times Maureen was stabbed, but Derek interrupts him before he could finish. What was cut was Mickey saying, "She was stabbed seven times." Hallie says in response, "Ouch!"
When Gale arrives at the Omega Beta Zeta sorority house, a couple of takes were cut. After Debbie Salt reveals the victim is a "sorority girl", Joel is panicked. "And she's dead! Like real dead," he says. "Blood and carnage dead, nausea dead... oh, my god." Joel covers his mouth from throwing up and Gale says, "Any witnesses?"
Scenes of Sidney and her friends were cut from the film due to time restraints. They are outside Sidney's dorm building and when they get to her dorm room, they start to discuss bodyguarding shifts. Hallie is chosen to look after her during her drama class, and Mickey takes the shift after. This makes sense when Derek arrives and says, "Your bodyguard awaits." Sidney asks Derek, "Where's Mickey?" Derek replies, "He had film edit."
