- An edited-for-television cut of the film, which has been widely released on DVD, removes scenes of nudity, gore and coarse language, but also features additional footage not seen in the original theatrical version. Among the additions:
- A slightly longer scene of the bomb construction at the onset of the film.
- A radio description of the bomber laid over a shot of a radio tower.
- Lieutenant Minneli giving a citation over the placement of a street sign to a theatre owner who is exhibiting "teen sex" films.
- Removal of a piece of dialogue where the police chief says he wants to catch the "son of a bitch before he blows up Los Angeles."
- An alternate take of a woman getting changed through a window. In the TV version, her undergarments are never visible, and she's always wearing her blue dress.
- Alternate shots of her attack where her blue dress hasn't been ripped.
- An alternate edit of the montage of female police officers working the streets, which removes violence, but adds additional officers walking through the night.
- An alternate version of Lieutenant Minneli exploring the presumed suspect's apartment. In the TV version, the walls don't contain nude images of his wife, but rather just nondescript decor. When Minneli plays the projector, a different version of footage of his wife is on it, with tight shots on her face and alternate perspectives that don't reveal her nude body.
- When the man later returns home to view the footage of his wife alone, he is watching a different film of her without nude images. However, a single topless photograph of her still appears during the bomber's explosion for a brief moment, seemingly missed by the editors.
