Shadowman shoots a rocket-bullet (or whatever) from his car that clearly blows up in front of BOTH hero vehicles. Yet later, we see Jake and Fumie look back as if it fell between them?

Re-Rebar
Long clip but worthwhile payoff. The two lovers just finished doing the nasty. Popeye surprises them and starts the chase. They're cornered, so the guy attempts a difficult jump...and fails, landing on the table below and getting his leg caught in a net. He yanks, and...GAK! Gets skewered by some falling rebar. After some nonsense, Popeye catches up with the girl, scares her to the *same jump*...which she fails, falling onto the rebar jutting from her deceased lover's corpse. GAK! If we have to cut, Lisa's death might do. But both is good.

The reporter lightly tosses a plastic spear and kills the goddess's other underling. The CIA agent blithely tosses a grenade in the goddess's crown and blows her head off. They congratulate each other and marvel about the appearance of Bigfoot.

Don't Let Your Balls Drop!
Okay, everyone in the film is super serious and angsty, so Blackfire (Juhahn Jones) carries the weight of being THE comic relief. Like constantly. Annoyingly. Every line from his mouth. Here, the crew is setting up their new hideout after the old one was compromised. Lucia mentions it needs a woman's touch, and Blackfire says he does, too. Then he bobbles one of his magical hand-grenades (I kid you not). Luckily, it doesn't explode. But Riot threatens "If you drop your balls one more time, I'm gonna shove 'em straight up your turd-cutter for safekeeping."

And they didn't bother editing it out in post.
