OVERALL: Draw

Hong Kong version - German release from e-m-s features 5.1 audio (but isn't English friendly), whilst the German 2023 limited edition and British release features the original mono track.

Taiwanese version - Taiwanese release is currently the only one we are aware of.

US version - American release is currently the only one we are aware of.

To see the differences between the original Hong Kong version, and the shorter US version, please see Movie Censorship. There is also a longer Taiwanese version which adds a few minutes to a flashback but removes some gore from two scenes.

This has also been released in:
- America by Tai Seng
- China by Zoke Culture
- France by HK Video
- Hong Kong by Mei Ah (initial release with DD audio only)
- Hong Kong by Meh Ah (remastered release with DTS audio - 2 versions with differing subtitles)
- Japan by Geneon
