- In the ending scene, Zim and GIR were originally dropped off in a ghetto with mariachi music playing in the background and a banner reading "Welcome to Mexico". Nickelodeon was concerned about offending Mexicans and had the banner changed to say "CARNE", which translates into "MEAT". The appearance of the ghetto remained the same, but the background music was changed to disco.

- The scenes where the Irkens attack Earth were cut due to the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1]
