When Billy flies towards the wall shortly after Cynthia's kick, there is another typical example of the crisper HK editing. In the export version, you see Cynthia a bit longer after the kick and Billy comes into the picture from the right in the following shot. The HK version only starts after that: Billy is already in the middle of the rotation, so that it looks like a single shot of a more powerful kick.
Even when Cynthia then goes to him and Billy throws the table at her, this is much more ponderous in the export version. All the shots just run a bit too long.
The HK version has an additional action shot of Cynthia being pushed aside with the table.
After falling through the glass wall, the HK version has two additional shots. In the export version, the following shot in the other room starts earlier, Cynthia comes in from above. For reasons of connection, the HK only starts after she is already lying on the floor.
The following kick against the wall is still visible in the export version in the same shot. In the HK version, it is more dynamic in an additional close-up.
Cynthia turns up faster in the HK in additional shot. The export version shows this slowly with the longer shots around it at the end/beginning.
Afterwards, many shots in the export version are a bit longer. Before the new attack, there is an additional shot of Judy at the door.
Cynthia hits Billy (with the blanket over his head) a little earlier in the export version at the end/beginning of two shots.
The first knee bend in the subsequent shot is also export-exclusive.
Before the slow motion kick against the head, the HK has a little more fighting again.
Judy is scared much longer in the export version.
Whatever the reason, an alternative take when Judy goes to the door.
When Cynthia comes out, the versions are synchronized again. Third scene (next fight with Billy): 47:42-52:50 / 48:10-54:41Difference: export version 83 sec (= 1:23 min) longer 47:42 / 48:10 As Mang Hoi runs towards Billy, the close-up is a little longer in the HK. In the export version, the following shot in slow motion is earlier. No time difference Only several tightening of the HK version in the next half minute. Then Billy approaches Jack much longer in the export version: A little exchange of blows before the close-up of Jack.
After further tightening: Jack bends longer on the ground in the export version.
In the export version, Jack gets several blows with the knee.
In the export version, Billy grabs Jack in an additional shot on his butt.
But in the HK, Billy gives way in an additional shot, cuts to Jack and wipes the blood from his mouth. In the export version, the following shot on the roof is a little earlier.
Cynthia earlier in the export version, before she takes the paint bucket.
The following shots are all a bit longer in the export version. Before Jack lands a somersault, there are a few quick shots in the HK with more flapping: Jack gets his legs kicked away and an elbow blow on his back.
In addition to the usual tightening, the export version is significantly longer shortly afterwards, when Billy writhes in pain on the railing. In the HK, the procedure was also slightly changed here resp. the following cut to Billy was moved forward a bit and then only a short part of Billy was shown on the ground.
Again, Billy writhes on the floor earlier in the export version.
In the export version, the door is opened earlier, so you see the unconscious Wu Ma first.
For a while, there are only isolated tightenings. Remarkable then again at 49:54 / 51:02 , how the next opponent in the export version licks blood longer before Jack attacks again.
Shortly afterwards Jack bends longer on the ground in the export version.
He also suffers longer in the following shot.
In the export version, the various knee kicks on the chest can be seen longer in the same shot. The following shot with Cynthia coming through the door starts a little earlier. In the HK version, two additional close-ups of the knee blows instead.
After the shot of Cynthia, the HK shows more beating for a super-short moment.
After the following blow to the face, Jack slumps to the ground longer in the export version. The following shot of Cynthia comes also a bit earlier.
Directly after Cynthia's shot, the HK also shows Jack slumping to the ground. Instead, the export version starts in the same shot, Jack closes his eyes. The following shot of Cynthia comes again earlier.
When Cynthia pulls the jacket over the guy's head, the HK changes super-shortly to a close-up shot. The export version stays longer in the previous shot.
Shortly afterwards, there's a shot of Cynthia in pose that comes much earlier in the export version.
In the export version, the two face each other for a while longer, and more of a battle ensues.
In the export version, the kick is longer and Cynthia rolls away towards the sofa.
The HK shows an additional frontal shot of Cynthia with the sofa cushion.
In the export version, the shot is a bit longer and here the guy kicks Cynthia from the sofa to the floor. Instead, the HK offers two additional shots of Cynthia and how her leg is kicked away.
Shortly afterwards (51:01-51:08 / 52:44), there's a longer HK-exclusive part: The guy grabs Cynthia by the neck and flings her around a bit until she can finally free herself.
