 The U.S. release was heavily cut to earn an "R" rating rather than an "X".  Among the cut material: the opening slit throat, a good deal of blood in the  village massacre. Also, in the first warehouse fight Van Damme is first  fighting one guy and then suddenly hes not fighting anyone anymore (soon  before the girl throws a villain down the big pit), the guy he was fighting  vanishes, his death scene was likely cut.
