International Export Cut [90 minutes]
Restored especially for the 40th Anniversary of the film, this version was commissioned by Golden Harvest for audiences outside Asia Contains the Classic English Dub and an alternate soundtrack featuring the song 'Kung Fu Fighting Man' performed in English by Jackie Chan

Extended Export Cut [99 minutes]
Released exclusively in Japan on 21st March 1981 by Toho-Towa, this version is broadly similar to the export cut. Although shorter than the Hong Kong cut, this composite cut features the uncut final fight and ending from said Hong Kong cut; alternate scenes, also included in the 90 minute export cut and the full-length export English Dub with alternate soundtrack

Added, thanks!

For 88's release:

I think only the book, poster and outer cover are limited edition (it'll probably be a standard pressing after with just the keep case and possibly the two discs).

The NGs are just music (no dialogue at all).

The International Export Version has English LPCM 2.0 Mono (there's no "alternative soundtrack", it really just refers to a different score from the Chinese ones) and the commentary in Dolby Digital.

DISC TWO has a hyphen missing: *The Film Extended Export Version (99:47)

Missing word: The Hong Kong theatrical cut is [a] new 2K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative.

You've placed an asterisk at Cantonese LPCM 2.0 Mono (Alternate Export Soundtrack), but the details in the notes section are muddled (and the asterisk is in the wrong place). It should say something like this: "This mix has the music from the international version combined with Cantonese dialogue and effects."

I'd advise taking out the following paragraphs (some of it is unnecessary detail):

*The alternative export dub audio cues were discovered "hiding" on the Japanese Soundtrack LP.

The international export cut was restored especially for the 40th anniversary of the film, commissioned by Golden Harvest for audiences outside Asia and contained a hybrid of the classic English dub and an alternate soundtrack featuring the song 'Kung Fu Fighting Man' performed in English by Jackie Chan (the transfer here also includes the original unaltered classic dub).

The Splendid release is an upscale, as is the Hong Kong version on the Twin Blu-ray.

I believe the Scandinavian release is the same master as 88's.

The Taiwanese version on the Japanese Blu-ray isn't real HD (taken from VHS), but I don't know what the presentation is like.

The differences between versions are noted here:

I will fix it. Thanks.

[Scott_Napier]

Thanks Eric.

I would add Taiwanese version to the General Notes too.

The 'Extended Export Version' is really just the Japanese version (though there are a few minor differences between the masters used for the Twin and 88 Blu-rays), despite being English-language (I think it originally contained Japanese side-titles for its theatrical run).

The Twin Blu-ray contains embedded side-titles on the Japanese version (not 'none').

[Eric_Cotenas]

Fixed.

[Scott_Napier]

Thanks Eric!

A few more things and I think you're good to go!

1. The fifth version listed at the bottom (the extended export cut) is the Japanese one, so you can take it out.
2. "The Cut Master" is Mandarin with embedded English/Chinese subtitles. However, an optional English set is available (I made it so it would be more readable, but also to improve the translation).
3. The Scandinavian set is genuine HD, I believe. It is Splendid and the Hong Kong version on Twin that are upscales.
4. Typo: "Hyenea" = Hyena
5. "Kung-fu" = Kung Fu
6. Hong Kong Theatrical Trailer (3:26); Extended Hong Kong Trailer (3:56); Japanese Theatrical Trailer (2:28) = all of these have optional English subtitles.
7. "Rick Baker on The Young Master" = I would take out "2021" (might have been filmed late 2020).

If Caps-a-Holic put a comparison up, I'll give you a shout.

[Åsmund_Utvik]

yes this is wrong on the scandinavian blu-ray
Notes:Upscaled from SD.
All scandinavia Jackie Chan BD are genuine HDS

[Scott_Napier]

All scandinavia Jackie Chan BD are genuine HDS

I think maybe one or two are upscales, but most are HD.
