A genuine CENSORSHIP CUT in the Korean version: the close-up of the French woman with her throat cut is missing.
1,6 sec



1:09:59
And another CENSORSHIP CUT: A close-up of Chan's sewn-open eyes.
0,8 sec



1:10:25
And ANOTHER extra shot by Woo in the Hong Kong version: Kenny runs away to find his father.
7 sec



1:11:00
After Louis has gone in search of Chan, Julie and Flamethrower Guy are left alone with Samton.
23,5 sec



1:11:36

5 sec



1:11:53
The Colonel is visibly losing patience with Chan.
9,1 sec



1:14:32
First, a fade to black is missing. Then you see Kenny trying to give his father, who is dying of thirst, something to drink. Since the water is slipping through his fingers, he uses his shirt as a sponge to bring the water to his father. Then you see the Colonel again, who is injecting himself with painkillers.
153,5 sec



1:16:11
The rest of the group is waiting for Chan, Louis, and Kenny to return. Julie notices that Samton's men are lurking in the shadows.
22,3 sec



1:18:25
A shot of Chan and Louis is seen earlier in the HK version.
(1,8 sec)



1:18:30
"I have an idea!" Chan exclaims in the HK version - without his idea ever being shown. In the Korean version you find out what he was talking about: Kenny is sent ahead to open the gas drums and spill the gas. Here you can also see the shot of Louis and Chan.
26,5 sec



1:21:12
Chan is torn about whether he should blow up the drug lord or not.
7,5 sec



1:22:23
To top it all off, Julie's tragic end was completely distorted by Golden Harvest: In the Korean version, she dies a hero's death when she notices the Colonel and throws herself in front of Chan, saving his life. The HK version was recut to make it look like the Colonel shot her from behind, rendering the scene just pointless and cynical.
15,5 sec



1:23:18
Chan and the Colonel fight a little longer.
10,1 sec



1:23:30
Chan and the Colonel exchange a few words before beating each other with clubs.
4,5 sec



1:24:18
Chan and the Colonel are fighting much longer. A large part of the scene plays out in long shots, which was probably considered not spectacular enough, but is a quite interesting stylistic choice (it bears some resemblance to old chambaras).
60,8 sec



1:24:19
Chan seems done for. The Colonel administers a few more vicious attacks.
22,8 sec



1:26:47
The end credits run a bit longer in the HK version. The two credits also differ in writing (HK: Chinese/English in white, KR: Chinese/Korean in red) and content (sometimes completely different people are named).
