- Originally released with an "X" in the U.S., later edited to receive an "R" rating.
- The film was cut for its UK cinema release to remove all closeup footage of pornographic magazine material, and to edit the finger removal scene and shots of a dead baby.
- In July 1977, a 2852.78-meter (103:59) print of ANDY WARHOL'S BAD was censored in Australia by 13.90-meters (00:30) for an R-rating. The cuts were made to remove 'indecent violence'. Greater Union Organisation Film Distributors was the applicant. Likely cuts: Image Entertainment (us) - Laserdisc - 105:27 (NTSC) Greater Union Organisation (au) - Original submission - 103:59 - May be precut Presumably, some of the 'indecent violence' was removed from the infamous scene, at 79:45, when a mother picks up her screaming baby and throws him from a high-rise. The camera follows the falling body and shows a woman being covered with blood when it hits the pavement. The blood of the corpse is then sniffed by a dog. There are other scenes of violence, such as a man crushed under a car and his finger cut off (24:00), a dog being stabbed (72:00) and L.T. (Perry King) shaking an autistic child and throwing him against the wall (94:00). At 49:00, very brief hardcore images are shown when L.T. and the girl are shown reading a pornographic magazine.
