- Alternate television versions of several scenes were filmed.
- Because European audiences normally don't know the rules of American Football, approximately 12 minutes of footage (scenes of foul play) were cut from some European prints to shorten running time.
- Although billed as the "Director's Cut" and boasting 6 minutes of added footage, the U.S. DVD version is actually shorter than the U.S. theatrical release, which ran 162 minutes. Even with the added footage, home video versions run a mere 157 minutes. Among scenes/shots cut from the DVD incarnation...
- Some locker room footage during halftime of the first game.
- A voiceover phone call between Cindy and Christina following the first game is re-cut.
- Tony's drunken barroom speech about giving everything for his players, prominently featured in the trailer, is entirely removed.
- The second game is re-cut.
- Game 3 begins with a Kid Rock song in the theatrical version. The DVD opens game 3 with a Black Sabbath song, and the game is heavily edited, with much of the football action rearranged or cut entirely.
- A beach football game between the players and bikini-clad beauties is trimmed.
- A brief bit in which Rooney antagonizes Willie during practice is cut.
- The final game is slightly re-edited, with a new scene of a player losing an eye added, as well as more footage of Caps's comeback montage, but other plays are cut in slightly different ways.
