Trivia
A trailer for the film, seen on various VHS releases from Imperial Entertainment, which produced the film, makes absolutely no indication of Universal Pictures' involvement, since Universal would only pick up the U.S. distribution rights later in the process. See more »Goofs
During the fight in the pool, Lionheart gets a cut on his right cheek. As he wins the fight and begins to walk up and out of the pool, before the scene fades out we can see that the cut is gone, and his cheek is fine. See more »Alternate Versions

Lionheart is clealry one of the best movies Van Damme made in his early days. The film had good fight scenes and a nice plot. Harrison Page as Van Damme's boy provides a lot of good one-liners and Van Damme kicks a lot of ass. I give it *** out of ****.
