We already covered the differences between the international version and the original cut of Mad Mission 3 in a separate comparison. Here, we look at the integral cut that is available on the German Blu-ray by DigiDreams. It is somewhat of a fancut. Since the other two versions have exclusive material on their own, this integral cut mixes that together in order to creat the longest possible version of Mad Mission 3.

Comparison between the Hong Kong original version (on disc 2) and the integral version (on disc 1) of the German Blu-ray set by Digidreams Studios.

In der Originalfassung gibt es zu Beginn nur ein paar Firmenhinweise. Von der letzten Einblendung wird direkt übergeblendet zur ersten Aufnahme der Straßenparade.

In the Integral version (as in the international version), instead, it begins immediately with a review of the previous parts, to which a separate introduction is also added. Also, here again, a fade-over to the street parade shot is made, but from the Rolls Royce shot of part 2.

Before the odd-job lookalike passes by, there's a first confrontation between Sam and Agent 701, after some messing around, Sam is lying on the ground and as she approaches, two policemen notice this upstairs. Immediately Sam and the assassin play a cuddle couple to avoid attracting further attention. When the policemen leave again, Sam and Agent 701 discuss a little more, but then turn around to the boat coming from behind (with the odd-job lookalike).

Here, the order was a bit reversed, as the international and the Asian original version actually showed a larger block of alternative material a few minutes earlier. Since the original version already showed Kodijak and Hatung earlier, and since the following scene in both versions continues with the two, it was decided to add the additional block of the international version only after this identical following scene.

Mr. Collins (Peter Graves as another western guest star) appears here. He arrives in Hong Kong by boat and is immediately picked up by a rickshaw man. Graves also gets an envelope with a tape recorder and documents from the driver. Graves listens to the message and sees the photos of the James Bond copycat etc., which is to be eliminated.

Suddenly, something smokes on the wheels of the rickshaw and the driver leaves his vehicle. Graves involuntarily drives down some stairs and jumps off just before the rickshaw explodes.
Thereupon he is in a room calling the central office in London and mentions the somewhat risky handover. His counterpart explains that he doesn't want to leave any evidence behind and that Graves had 5 seconds before the rickshaw exploded.
