AThe 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.
