The case of this movie has always fascinated me, it was originally meant for a 1990 release and had several different titles including Valkenvania, Git, and Trickhouse. The film was notably much more violent and over-the-top originally but poor reactions from test screenings convinced Warner Bros to delay the film's release date so it could be recut to a PG-13 rating, didn't stop the film from bombing and getting bad reviews though. WB were reportedly so focused on the disaster that was Bonfire of the Vanities that they barely paid any attention to this movie during the filming process.
I hope the directors cut eventually comes out one of these days, fascinating article on the film:film
