Notes:The "extended footage" on this version is the missing patches from the Columbia Tristar releases where the English audio was substituted for Cantonese in certain scenes. Those scenes are what pass for the "extra" scenes on this DVD, they're just played in Mandarin. Although, Mei Ah did go to the trouble of re-dubbing the opening scene in Cantonese with new voice actors
The 5.1 remix has phasing problems, like it was mixed in an echo chamber.
The subtitles are more accurate than the Columbia Tristar releases, but some lines remain Westernized. -

- Beggar Su's fight in the restaurant is most edited: missing lines, even sections of the fight
