Trivia
Carl Weathers (who was about 39 at the time of shooting for this film) joked that the rigorous shooting schedule for the action sequences "aged his body into his 60's" all of which he blamed on the director Craig R. Baxley.

Before Tony is killed by the fake shipping-and-handler, he's told, "It's C.O.D." This can have two meanings: "Cash On Delivery" or "Cause Of Death".

Q
What are the differences between the British BBFC 18 VHS and the Uncut Version?
A
Due to the BBFC-rules, the UK-video had to be removed of a few short scenes, in which a butterfly knife is shown (only the moments depicting the butterfly knife being pulled out for play were cut), because this weapon is prohibited in Great Britain to this date. The fact that additional, pretty harmless shots of a dead body were cut is not replicable, since other, uncomparably rougher scenes were left in. A detailed comparison with pictures between both versions can be found here.
