44:06 / 58:24-58:35

In the meantime, in contrast to the original version, you could see how Dragon wants to remove the kite from the roof a little longer. But the next cut deviates again. Further shots of the thieves are missing at the beginning and Dragon seems confused. The way he handles his kite is then included again, in contrast to the original version.

10.9 sec

44:57 / 59:26-59:38

Before Dragon walks away, he takes a few looks at gang members. This cut sets in much earlier than in the original version.

12.5 sec

45:43 / 60:24-61:09

Directly after the dragon-pickup sequence there is an additional scene where Dragon's father announces the apparently good news that he doesn't want to simply marry him to the girl chosen by the matchmaker. Surprisingly, however, this is exactly the girl Dragon wants. Therefore he jumps into his father's arms enthusiastically when he hears the name. Dragon convinces him not to cancel the wedding and a meeting is arranged on the 15th in the temple. Dragon subsequently goes to the matchmaker and asks for a new perfume, which should definitely come from Paris.

45.3 sec

52:03 / 67:30-67:33

And again, an incredibly stupid cut: In the original version the end of a tracking shot is missing. But in Scandinavia a part of the follow-up shot of Dragon and the villagers was torn out, with a very obvious jumpcut in the middle of it.

3.8 sec

56:19 / 71:49-71:59

Before you can see him outside, Jackie sneaks through the inside with the jug.

10 sec

60:28 / 76:08-76:25

The gang members discuss longer how to deal with the situation.
Tiger thinks that they will die if their boss reports them to the government. But the others don't care anymore, they don't want to see their boss again and don't care about the antiques anymore.

16.6 sec

68:04 / 84:01-84:06

Dragon drags Cowboy back in another shot, then the boss comes closer.
Once again, a cut of the original version was not re-created correctly: There the follow-up shot of the boss is missing, here it's the previous one.

4.6 sec

69:04 / 85:06-85:13

After seeing Dragon get rid of the chain, which was cut in the original version, something is missing shortly after.

6.8 sec

70:54 / 87:03-87:07

It's so dilettantish: Dragon has to take a few hard kicks at the beginning of the shot. Instead of simply removing the first 4 seconds of the shot like in the original version, you see Dragon getting up for 6 frames in Scandinavia and then a hard jumpcut into a different body position for the rest of the shot.

4.5 sec

74:29 / 90:43-90:51

Cowboy comes running to the boys and Dragon wants to know where Uncle Wang is. Cowboy replies that he is with the officers and they will meet later.

8 sec

74:44 / 91:06-91:55

The boys start a song and march off. This was replaced in the original version by a shorter shot, which is of course also missing. Finally, the camera moves back from the golden ball.

49.7 sec

78:27 / 95:38-96:14

Various other scenes from the scuffle on the pyramid. This is once again a confusing deviation from the 3 cuts of the original version at this point.

36,3 sec

78:32 / 96:19-96:29

Further wrangling for the top before the first ones have reached the golden ball.

10 sec

79:16 / 97:13-97:18

Two children sneak onto the field.

4.3 sec

How Dragon saves them just in time from the raging crowd is included, unlike the original version. Afterwards again some ball playing was cut originally but can be seen in Scandinavia. Also after that three cuts of the original version are still included.


81:26 / 99:28-99:57

After the actual cut of the original version, several brawls of the teams are missing.

29.8 sec

81:36 / 100:08-100:40

Some passes, shown completely in slow motion.

32 sec

Alternative
81:40-81:48 / 100:44-100:55

After the head-over-throw through the leg, the ball actually makes a few more rounds in the same shot.

The Scandinavian Blu-ray instead switches to another take from the previous cut 81:36 / 100:08-100:40. This is curious in that the original version also re-inserted previously cut takes here, but different ones from the scenes missing 1-2 minutes before that.

Work-in-progress cut 2.7 sec longer



81:53 / 101:00-101:25

This is followed by various other shots in which the people run against each other several times or the ball makes the rounds in this way.

25,3 sec
