Goofs

As the locals are trying to pull down the wall to find the first piece of the triangle, Alex West takes off his shirt and starts to pull on the rope with the rest of the gang. In the next shot he is clearly seen to the left of the screen with his shirt back on as the wall topples down, jumping up and down and shouting something.

Lord Richard Croft states that the two halves of the triangle were taken from the city in the crater and hidden at opposite ends of the earth. Despite this the second half is found in the city itself in Siberia, and the first in Cambodia, on the same continent.

When Lara returns back in time and intercepts the knife being thrown at Alex, time is frozen while she twists the knife around redirecting it towards Powell; yet the orrery in the background continues to rotate.

Does this follow the storyline of the original game?

No, this is an entirely original story with the same main character and basics of the video game.

What are the differences between the British BBFC 12 Version and the Uncut Version?

In order to obtain the BBFC 12 rating, three scenes were cut or altered. In the scene where Powell and Lara meet and discuss the Illuminati, the glamorising sound effect of Powell's flick knife opening and the metallic ringing sound is missing on the soundtrack. Later on, just before Powell throws his knife at Alex, the metallic sound of his flick knife being opened has again been removed from the soundtrack. During the fight with Lara, Powell picking up his blood-stained knife and twirling it in a glamorous fashion around his finger has been removed from the scene. Finally, Lara headbutting Powell has been removed right before the throat chop, and replaced with a punch to the head instead. The UK DVD remains cut, but the UK Blu-ray is uncut and rated 15. An incomplete comparison between both versions with pictures can be seen here.
