FAQ

Like many other classics of the HK cinema, this movie also has an extended and alternative version. This version, which was only obtainable from Taiwan on VHS, was also published on DVD by the known label WA and offers about 10 minutes of additional material which enlarges the movie to a 2 hour flick. Extended scenes of violence are not included and one can differentiate completely new scenes between the various mini cuts. Those new scenes do not offer new insights but deepen various characteristics of the actors. The new material does not brake the movie and can be considered as success. The small but plenty new scenes simply show that the movie had to be reduced in its lenght when released in cinemas. Sometimes it was a good decision but sometimes the scenes raise the movie's level.
