• SPOILER: The DVD contains some deleted scenes: - a different introduction of Beachum at his house - a love scene between Nikki Gardner and Beachum (seen in two versions: the first is rather 'energetic', the second has a more sensual tone) - in Nikki's apartment Beachum carries her down the stairs - Beachum visits Jennifer at the hospital and tells her about his family - an alternate ending: here Beachum realizes that Crawford has switched the guns by looking at different photographs. He then breaks into Crawford's house and confronts Crawford (who saw him on the CCTV and triggered the alarm), wearing Nunally's gun. The catch here is that the shells of the bullets reloaded by Crawford into Nunally's gun have Crawford's fingerprints on them. Beachum then puts the gun in the rolling marble model, which Crawford subsequently destroys to get the gun and wipe the bullets clean. After he is finished Beachum opens the drawer where Crawford keeps his gun (which is shown empty) and tells him that Nunally's gun is actually at the lab - a second alternate ending which basically is the same as above except for some of Crawford's reaction to Beachum's explanation and the arrival of police officers to Crawford's alarm
