Goofs
In the movie's first scene, as Brownlee inspects a row of slaves he smokes a cigar which is obviously lit (smoke, ash, etc). But when he clenches the cigar in his mouth and leans in to inspect a slave's teeth, the cigar changes to one that has never been lit. (Maybe a precaution against burning the other actor's face?)

About 18 minutes into the movie, when Dite tells Hammond that she's "knocked up", her leg changes position between shots.

During Mede's first fight in the city, he and his opponent are wrestling on the grass. When they roll over the floor, the grass is moving like a slipping carpet would, revealing it to be a sheet of artificial green, probably lying on the floor of a sound stage.

Q
What are the differences between the International Version and the US DVD/BD by Legend Films/Paramount?
A
If you compare the international Version and the American DVD/BD Release by Legend Films/Paramount you will see that director Richard Fleischer shot several scenes in 2 different versions: one version includes sequences with naked actors and the other version shows the exact same scene with actors wearing clothes. Additionally the American Re-Release version includes some more nude scenes as well as some more violent content. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
