- Randall 'Tex' Cobb's role ("Skull") was considerably shortened prior to release.
- Originally filmed was a courtroom prologue where Fletcher successfully defends Skull using his usual, less-than-truthful tactics. Remnants of it still remain in the theatrical trailers and in full as a 'Deleted Scene' on the DVD/Blu-ray releases.
- Also filmed was a sequence where Fletcher meets Skull again in jail. That scene was shortened in the final version so much that, despite a prominent billing, Cobb only has one line.
- When aired on ABC, these changes were made:
- In the conference room, the last word of Fletcher's insult "You couldn't get a porn star off" was muted.
- The tape recording played in court of Samantha Cole and Mr. Falk was shortened.
- Fletcher saying "I'm such a shit." was redubbed from '...shit.' to '...snot.'.
- Fletcher's sentence of "I just proposed a settlement to dick with them" was redubbed from '...dick...' to '...deal...'.
- At the repo lot when Fletcher complains about the scratch on his car, his last sentence of "I'm gonna bend over and take it up the tail pipe" was redubbed as '...like a grown man!'.
- When Fletcher tries unsuccessfully to lie about a blue pen, his yelling of "The God damn pen is blue!" was omitted.
- Also, due to the terrorists attacks of 9/11/01, almost all Tower Air titles from the Boeing 747 aircraft is removed, except for only one "Air" on the fuselage.
