Trivia

The "hanging from the clock tower" stunt is a homage to Safety Last! (1923). At least three different takes were shot; two are shown during the course of the film, and a third at the end under the credits.

When Jackie was doing the stunt at the clock tower, Jackie was afraid of falling voluntarily. So he held on until he literally lost his grip and fell.

The U.S version distributed on video and DVD by Miramax's studio division "Dimension Films" in North America in 2000, it has a new opening credits sequence, a new score, and dubbed English dialogue. In addition, seven minutes are cut from the original dialogue (105 Mins) to 97 Mins.

What are the differences between the US Version and the Uncensored Version?

Like so many other HK movies, this classic from the glory days of the trio Jackie Chan / Sammo Hung / Yuen Biao is cut and got a new score in the US. The approx. 8 minutes shorter version mainly lacks ridiculous comedy scenes. The abduction of Samo Hung is missing as well because Mahjong is not necessarily reasonable for a Western audience. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
