Trivia

Brandon Lee (I)' stated in an US Magazine interview shortly after filming completed, that he had filmed a scene where he had to kick open a large oak door. He stated "we filmed this scene where I had to nail this huge oak door, so I go to do the scene and I broke one of my toes. My foot swelled up to the size of a watermelon and we had to end filming for the day." Adding insult to injury, he said, the scene was never included in the film.

What are the differences between the British BBFC-18 version and the uncut version?

Because of the (old) British policy regarding the use of specific weapons, this action flick had to be cut in one scene in which a nunchaku was used. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
