[Frank_Chan]

For "The Big Boss" (1971), the 1983 Cantonese soundtrack contained samples from Pink Floyd music.

The Cantonese soundtrack on the following releases have removed and replaced the samples with music from other parts of the soundtrack.

Redubbed with new music, different voice actors?
Could you provide the runtime for the film and extras?

[Frank_Chan]

Both Cantonese and Mandarin are redubbed with different voice actors. Both tracks use the Cantonese soundtrack music, with the Pink Floyd music samples intact.

The runtime is 95:08

The cuts section lists these cuts, but I checked and both of these scenes are in it. However, the Golden Harvest logo is missing.
R0 Hong Kong- Universe Laser and Video Co. Ltd. - No cuts - 1983 Golden Harvest version in which the following scenes are missing:
- Wu Mang in the bed sleeping with Cheng, the latter realising what has happened and beginning his exit out of the brothel.
- Wu Mang showing Cheng her dart scars.
The "Golden Harvest" logo may be missing as well (unconfirmed).
