Fast Times TV Version

The television version of Fast Times includes many scenes that were cut by Amy Heckerling from the theatrical version (over 14 minutes of additional or alternate footage). She clearly states that she is not fond of them (which is why they were not included on the DVD), but many of them are interesting and worth a look. Various different edits have appeared on TV over the years and I’ll attempt to document all the footage.

Opening credits
Alternate Scene: During Don Philips credit, instead of showing the ‘line of butts in designer jeans’ playing video games, a shot of the the mall entrance is used instead.
