- Two additional scenes were shot but cut from the final version. These are not included as part of the "deleted scenes" on the DVD releases, however were originally included in '80s Brazilian TV broadcasts and their first-generation CIC VHS. These scenes involve Hendricks and Red taking Tom Andrews and his partner out to the missing divers' cruiser, where they dive on the wreck of the Orca and recover the divers' camera. This scene takes place after the montage of the kids going day sailing (which ends with Doug being hit with the water balloon). Following this is the scene in Brody's office where Phil Fogarty complains about the kid's radio. Extended dialogue and interaction with the other irate townspeople present follows, including Brody conversing with (a recast) Polly.
- Scripted and shot, but never included in the final print, are more exchanges of dialogue between the teenagers, mostly between the not so introduced teens such as Lucy, Polo, Patrick, and Brook.
- The 2001 DVD release and VHS re-releases change the "Featured Players" credit during the opening scene to "Featuring", and insert the previously uncredited Cyprian R. Dube (Posner) and Oneida Rollins (ambulance driver) into the end credits.
- There are five scenes edited from the theatrical cut of the film that were re-added to the Television Version:
- Ellen, adding wine to the fruit punch, and tells the waitress to smile and look cute.
- Brody, given Peterson a parking ticket because, he was parking at a "No Parking" zone. Peterson tries to talk Brody out of giving him the ticket, and a half-exasperated half-joking Brody tells Peterson to just "pay the two dollars."
- The Council argues about the incident at the beach before Brody turns up with the photograph. Len Peterson wears down Vaughn until he agrees that action needs to be taken against Brody.
- The Council goes into Mayor Vaughn's office to take a vote to fire Brody; Mayor Vaughn alone votes against Brody's firing.
- The shark attacks the helicopter pilot, after capsizing it underwater.
