==Endings==
==Endings==
There were two endings produced for the film. The original theatrical ending in Japan showed Raoh emerging victorious over Kenshiro, but sparing his life, leaving him to protect Lin. An alternate ending was produced that shows the fight ending in a draw, which was the ending featured in the VHS and Laserdisc release of the film in Japan. The English dub version by Streamline Pictures is based on the theatrical version and thus features the original ending. Many Western fans believe that the "draw ending" was the original ending, but this is a common misconception due to the fact that the original ending where Raoh wins was not featured in the VHS or LD releases in Japan. The Region 2 DVD release of the film features both endings. It should be noted that in the manga version, the first encounter between Kenshiro and Raoh ended in a draw (where both of them stabbed each other in the chest) before being intervened by Toki.
