In England, a version which was cut by almost 5 minutes was released on VHS and DVD. Among other things, fighting scenes with common, simple weapons were not included. Maybe, as often happens, these scenes were cut, because they are more easily imitable. In 2007 the uncensored version was released by Hong Kong Legends in the UK.

Overall, this version misses out on roughly 12 minutes. Similar to the French Version of Spiritual Kung Fu most of the missing footage originates from a huge cut during the first half of the flick that takes out several (actually quite unnecessary and complicated) scenes that are not too relevant for the movie. Unfortunately, the movie also lacks two fight scenes. The second of these is especially interesting since it already hints at Jackie's style of fighting that incorporates many everyday objects - a clear highlight of the movie. Apart from that, the opening credits that include presentations of Jackie's fighting skills was trimmed down.
