Goofs

During the fight between Danny and Al-Red (dressed as the Lemonade Clown), both guys end up submerged several times under the water in the fountain (which contained the explosive water) but yet only Al-Red suffers the effects from drinking it either. Danny was unaware of the fountain containing explosive water in it, and was submerged, so in all likeliness Danny should've suffered the same affects as Al-Red and exploded also.

When Terry is kidnapped, it is the middle of the day, while at the same time Danny and Frank are in the kitchen and it is 4:45 am.

Share this

After Mikhail explodes from drinking the water, Danny and Frank (still handcuffed together) jump from the roof of the mansion to the ground below, and Frank gets killed by impaling himself on a fence spike which is covered in his blood thereafter. Careful eyes will see that the spike was already stained with blood before Frank's body even hits it.

What are the differences between the R-Rated Version and the Unrated Version?

Only the sex scene between Brosnan and Eilbacher was prolonged for the Unrated Version. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.The UK VHS is based on the shorter R-Rated version, however, there's an additional scene which the British studios censored for their release. A comparison between the censored British Version and the R-Rated Version with pictures can be found here.

Why was the fountain filled with the explosive water?

Though the explosive is usually activated when it comes into contact with stomach acid, it's established that any acid-like substance will cause it to detonate. Since Al-Red was trying to push the lemonade cart into the fountain, presumably his intention was to use the acidic lemonade to set off the fountain's contents and cause a devastating explosion.
