After Dragon left the school, he instantaneously gets a job at the competition. The fat guy (Bull) is being made look like a fool - especially with Jackie's fan.

In the Regular HK Version, San Kung makes a short comment about using a bench. In the Taiwanese Version, he simply laughs.

A brief moment later, Dragon has grabbed the bench as well: now the two different takes of San Kung have been re-instered.

Combined with the following difference and the difference in between, the footage has a different impact. While it seems as if San Kung is only surprised by the bench of his son in the Regular Version, he is surprised about the fact that Dragon uses a bench as well in the Taiwanese Version.

no difference

Whilw San Kung's son ("Fourth Brother" resp. Yuen Biao) also finishes his stunt with the bench in the Regular HK Version, the Taiwanese Version cuts to Dragon earlier. He tries to swing the bench around his head as elegant as Biao did, he can't do it resp. he just looks stupid.
Thisalso explains why he attacks snottily and roughly in the remaining part of the scene.
