Trivia

A scene was shot in which Angelina drives back to her house with the old pick-up and a branch from a tree falls and breaks the windshield. It took several takes to get the shot, and apparently destroyed the last remaining windshields for the pick-up available anywhere in North America at the time. The scene was not used.

Goofs

When Illeana throws something at the full-length mirror, all of the pieces on top fall out. In the next shot, we see her reflection on a piece of mirror that is back in place at the top of the mirror.

At the end of the movie, as Costa is making Illeana tea, after sneaking into her house, the choke-chain in Costa's back right pocket disappears and reappears between shots.

Faq

What are the differences between the R-Rated theatrical version and the Unrated version of the movie?

Well, there are several differences between both versions, especially in regard to the "infamous" sex scenes. Here the unrated version of the movie is way more explicit and features several prolonged scenes. But there are also some new violent shots and extended story sequences. You can find a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures here.
