When the film premiered on NBC in 1993, many edits were made to censor language. Examples are Marty saying "he's an [idiot]" instead of an asshole, the deputy saying "dig him out of that [stuff]" instead of shit, and "holy [shoot]" instead of shit. "Son of a bitch" however was allowed. While these were all dubbed in, one shot was actually changed for the NBC version though, when Marty looks back at Needles driving off, an alternate take was used where Marty says "I'm not stupid enough to race that [butthead]" instead of that asshole.
