Trivia
Miramax (a subsidiary of Disney) acquired the international distribution rights to the film (outside of Asia). Like many Jackie Chan films distributed by Disney, scenes were cut, foreign dialog was dubbed, and the music score was changed. However, Miramax made so many changes to the film that it almost changed the entire movie for its release on video in 2004 by the home video division, called Dimension Home Video.

Q
What are the differences between the International Version and the Hong Kong Version?
A
The International Version of this Jackie Chan movie is severely shorter than the Hong Kong Version. This International Version is one of several released versions that can be fairly called artistic failures, because of poor choice of cuts and sometimes very rough ones, even in good scenes. More than that, dialog is often distorted, and sometimes it is overshadowed by simultaneous sounds that are wrong for the moment. A detailed comparison between these two versions, with pictures, can be found here.An even longer cut than the Hong Kong Version is available, the so-called Malaysian Extended Version. The detailed comparison between those can be found here.
