Goofs

During the fight in the pool, Lionheart gets a cut on his right cheek. As he wins the fight and begins to walk up and out of the pool, before the scene fades out we can see that the cut is gone, and his cheek is fine.

During the last fight of the movie, Attila punches Lyon in the ribs several times, re-aggravating his broken rib and causing him to bleed through his stitches. Shortly thereafter, the bloodstain is gone from Lyon's shirt and never returns.

When Lyon and Joshua are walking in New York City there is seen a sign for Carl's Jr., a western burger chain with no locations on the east coast.

What are the differences between the R-Rated version and the so-called International Cut?

In the US the film was released in a version that is, compared with the European versions, cut differently because some plot scenes were cut out, presumably to tighten the film. On the other hand there're also some very short frames missing in the International Cut. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
