24.5 sec
00:43 / 00:19-11:24 It starts with a long recap of Part 1, accompanied by a voiceover. Unfortunately, unlike the rest of the film, this section lacks English subtitles. 665.7 sec (= 11:06 min)
Until 01:18 / 12:45 , the following credits sequence runs much longer. The welding through the image begins later in the theatrical version, while the TW shows this almost endlessly long. Taiwanese DVD 46.3 sec longer
01:25 / 12:52-12:54 Here, too, a simple trim: The shot of the corridor is a moment longer in Taiwan. 1.8 sec
01:39 / 13:08-13:11 After Chow looked at his watch, he is seen a bit longer. 3.3 sec
01:44 / 13:17-13:20 The men in the corridor a bit longer. 2.9 sec 01:48 / 13:24-13:25 Next mini-trim before the door is kicked in. 1.7 sec 02:03 / 13:41-13:42 Another shot of men scurrying through the hallway. 1.6 sec
02:09 / 13:48-13:50 A first shot against the door. 2 sec 02:33 / 14:14-14:15 Chow gets up from his seat a moment longer. 1.5 sec 02:55 / 14:37-14:38 He takes another step back towards his men. 1.1 sec 04:17 / 16:00-16:01 A few frames more of Chow and Tso (Ng Man-Tat), changing from a distant to a close-up perspective at the table. 1.3 sec 05:11 / 16:56-16:57 When Tso grabs Chow by the arm, there is another mini-trim. 1.3 sec Additional material in theatrical version 05:49-05:53 / 17:35 Tso makes a gesture with his hand at the end of the shot in the theatrical version, after getting water on his face. + 3.8 sec
07:27 / 19:09-19:10 A few frames after Tso is pushed away and Chow then holds Blacky Ko. 0.6 sec 07:29 / 19:12-19:14 The next mini-trim as Tso then gets up... 1.3 sec 07:31 / 19:16-19:17 ...and grumbles off. 0.8 sec 08:49 / 20:35-20:36 After Chow has taken over again in the "wrestling match" with Blacky, Tso grabs his sore neck. 1.5 secs 08:54 / 20:41-20:43 Tso can be seen a little earlier. 1.2 sec 09:03 / 20:51-20:53 Tso fidgets for a moment longer before Lydia joins them. 1.9 sec 09:21 / 21:11-21:13 At the beginning of a shot, Tso looks over at Blacky again. 1.8 sec 10:41 / 22:33-22:34 Blacky curls up in the corner for a moment longer at the end of the scene. 0.9 sec 11:12 / 23:05-23:07 Lydia can be seen a moment earlier. 1.9 sec 11:37 / 23:32-23:35 Chow arriving on the motorcycle (an obvious parody of Police Story 2) is seen a little earlier. 3 sec 11:44 / 23:42-23:47 The shot is also significantly longer. 5.4 sec
11:50 / 23:53-23:55 The following side shot is also a moment longer. 1.8 sec 11:53 / 23:58-24:01 Another little trim before the colleague looks over at Chow. 2.9 sec 11:57 / 24:05-24:11 Chow looks perplexed earlier and digs out his sunglasses. 6.3 sec
12:05 / 24:19-24:23 Chow fumbles helplessly with his gloves for longer. 4 sec
12:24 / 24:42-24:51 Chow drives away for much longer. 8.9 sec
Alternate / Additional footage in theatrical version 12:24-12:32 / 24:51-24:57 Interestingly, the Taiwan version uses an alternate take as Chow drives past the billboard. The shot from the theatrical version is more effective, however, because only here two children walk past and look after him with pity. Theatrical version 2.6 sec longer.
12:37 / 25:02-25:06 The transition from the following long shot to the close-up of Chow is a little longer. 4 sec 12:45 / 25:14-25:20 Chow gesticulates angrily for longer. 5.8 sec
12:58 / 25:32-25:43 The referee game goes on a little longer and then Chow pushes the school bus much earlier. 11.1 sec
13:02 / 25:47-26:06 The same shot is also slightly longer. Then the students (more reminiscent of stern adults) stand around Chow and speak to him a little earlier. 18.8 sec
Shortly afterwards, the TW is several times a few inconsequential frames longer. Alternate / Additional material in theatrical version 14:43-15:56 / 27:48-28:14 Interestingly, the speed trap scene in the Taiwan version is completely alternate. Here you only see that Chow doesn't really notice the passing cars because he's barbecuing. Then it continues abruptly with the operation in the warehouse.
In the theatrical version, there is an alternative take from the street instead, and as Chow barbecues, Tso drives past. After a short conversation, a shot of the warehouse follows to introduce the next scene.
Theatrical version 46.7 sec longer 16:17 / 28:34-28:35 Chow walks around the corner a moment longer. 0.8 sec 16:19 / 28:37-28:40 Another shot of the men rushing through the room. 2.3 sec
16:25 / 28:46-28:47 Chow takes a few more steps forward. 1.3 sec 16:32 / 28:54-28:56 A few more unnecessary steps from the men. 2.4 sec 16:45 / 29:10-29:14 Tso remains anxious for a moment. 3.9 sec
17:01 / 29:29-29:35 A colleague is still standing by Tso and moves to the side. 5.8 sec
17:20 / 29:54-30:02 Tso takes a first step forward and sees a colleague with his badge at the ready. He backs away and ponders briefly - then the theatrical version kicks in with a brief moment of the shot. 7.6 sec
Additional footage in theatrical version 17:21-17:23 / 30:03-30:04 The theatrical version interrupts the shot of Tso for a moment to show the various police people on the other side for the first time. In the Taiwan version, the shot of Tso continues in one continuous take instead, with a few extra inconsequential frames in the middle. Theatrical version 1 sec longer
17:35 / 30:16-30:18 Before Mark shoots, we see him a moment earlier. 2.5 sec 17:37 / 30:20-30:21 Before Tso gets scared, there are a few more inconsequential frames. 0.9 sec 17:41 / 30:25-30:26 Chow takes a step forward earlier. 1.2 sec 17:52 / 30:37-30:40 The baddies come up the stairs a little earlier. 3.7 sec 18:05 / 30:53-30:56 At the end of the scene, Tso takes another step forward. 2.5 sec 18:37 / 31:28-31:29 A shot of Chow begins a moment earlier. 0.6 sec 19:29 / 32:21-32:22 Chow walks away a moment longer in the corridor. 1.5 sec 20:01 / 32:54 A few inconsequential frames in conversation. 0.5 sec 20:51 / 33:45-33:48 The father has to listen to a little more criticism. 3 sec
21:09 / 34:06-34:07 Trivial frames. 0.9 sec 21:39 / 34:37-34:39 The father tries to distract from the wedding theme for a moment longer. 1.8 sec Alternate / additional material in theatrical version 22:58-23:01 / 35:58-36:01 The theatrical version has an additional cut to Chow. In the Taiwan version, the subsequent shot of Lydia begins a little earlier. No time difference
25:24 / 38:23-38:28 A trivial moment at the scene transition (Chow -> rocks in the sea). 4.2 sec 25:27 / 38:31-38:33 The change to the next shot is also a little slower. 2.3 sec 26:39 / 39:45-40:34 The boys' briefing starts much earlier. Chow distributes the tasks: For example, Turtle is to be responsible for equipment, Potato for finances and Y is put in charge of homework. There is a bit of discussion and they stand up. 49.1 sec
27:30 / 41:25-41:27 The transition to the next scene was tightened up a little again. 1.8 sec 27:41 / 41:38-41:43 Basically the same principle, but illustrated here: End/beginning of the transition between two shots. 5.4 sec
28:04 / 42:06-42:19 The director stands up, sits down next to Chow and starts looking in his folder. Chow presents the transcripts. 12.4 sec
28:41 / 42:56-42:57 Next scene transition. 0.7 sec 28:45 / 43:01-43:03 The boys stand in position a moment longer. 2.2 sec |
