FAQ

Here's another treat from the good old days of Jackie Chan's Chinese action movies which Dimension released in a shortened version in the USA. Again, score and opening credits (which apparently are old export-credits) stayed untouched and the difference in time of roughly 2 minutes is not that bad. However, the cuts themselves are pretty weird. Most of the time, the studio chooses to cut out scenes that evolve the plot a little further. This time, however, most of the scenes that were cut out include action-sequences that probably were the most complex scenes of the whole shooting: the tower game at the beginning and the foot badminton game. Both scenes miss out on roughly one minute of footage. It's not too bad but absolutely unnecessary.
