01:10-09:01 / 01:10 bzw 90:47-102:07

After several production logos, the Original Version starts with the fight for the pyramid. In the Alternate Asian Version, this is comes after the regular final fight. Since this comparison is based on the Original Version, the differences have already been listed in a colored frame because the scene is 209 seconds (=3:29 minutes) longer in the Alternate Asian Version.


01:20 / 90:58-91:06

Extended shot of Cowboy approaching the guys plus Dragon asks for uncle Wang's whereabouts. Cowboy explains he was with the officers and they were going to meet later.

8.5 sec




Alternate
01:32-01:38 / 91:18-92:11

In the Original Version, the guys get going and a distance shot of the pyramid follows.


The Alternate Asian Version on the other hand contains an alternate take of the guys in which they intone a song. That is how theykee marching around in the following shots. Subsequently, more shots of the event from a less further distance.


Alternate Asian Version 46.9 sec longer



Shortly afterwards the opening credits in the Original Version. The shots with the actual credits have been taken from a different master with worse quality.

Other than that, the masters of the two versions are very much alike, including little contamination etc. Only the colors have been slightly altered. An uncompressed frame comparison can be found here.

Alternate / Recut
08:12-08:36 / 101:15-101:41

After Dragon's buddy snatched the ball from an oppenent via jump kick, the versions continue differently until Dragon makes his final sprint. The Original Version rather recycles spectacular shots from previous extensions of the Alternate Asian Version while the fighters simply run against each other unspectacularly and this is how the ball goes around here.
