* Instead of swords, the characters weild guns with fictional brand names like "Sword 9mm" or "Dagger"; Lord Montague's "Longsword" is a South African MAG-7 shotgun.* In the initial scene, the lines of the Montague and Capulet servants are swapped, until Tybalt enters the scene.* The prince is renamed "Captain Prince". Instead of being Prince of Verona, he is the Chief of the Verona Beach Police Department, and either drives or flies an armed helicopter. His relationships to Mercutio and to Paris (called "Dave Paris" in the movie) are removed from the film.* Mercutio's "Queen Mab" is an ecstacy like drug in the form of a pill that Romeo takes before attending the Capulet party.* Although most of the fights are done with guns instead of swords, Mercutio's death comes when he is stabbed by Tybalt with a large shard of glass on the beach.* Instead of chasing Tybalt on foot, Romeo and Tybalt engage in a car chase. Romeo crashes out Tybalt's car by the central fountain of the city, after which they fight to Tybalt's death.* Mantua is depicted as a desert-like hinterland.* The dialogue of death scene of Romeo and Juliet is moved around so that Juliet wakes as Romeo drinks the poison, he realizes she's alive too late, she kisses him to try to intake the poison from his lips, he says "with a kiss, I die." and he dies beside her. Juilet then commits suicide with Romeo's gun. | |
