In April 5th, 1987, an alternate version aired on NBC. This version reinserted two deleted scenes to make up for lost time from network censors. A lot of swearing was cut out or dubbed over. The source of the TV version is heavily damaged, as there is constant flickering in the middle of the film along with noticeable pixelation. The first four minutes of the opening titles were not recorded. One of the deleted scenes had made it on the DVDs and Blu-rays.
