Alternative / Additional material in Celestial master
44:35-45:02 / 56:55-57:53 A few alternative shots of Huang, recognizable by Celestial's legs not hanging high in the second shot. In addition, the original version has more re-cuts and much more dialogue before the owner digs up the money and the versions show the same footage again. Original version 28.3 sec longer
45:33 / 58:25-58:33 The owner defends himself a little at the end of the shot and is tackled by the henchman at the beginning of the next shot. 7.5 sec
Alternative / Additional material in Celestial Master 47:29-47:40 / 60:37-60:50 Two insignificant alternative shots when Huang presses his thumb on Tan's nose and he resists. Original version 0.5 sec longer Alternative / Additional material in Celestial master 50:31-51:49 / 63:55-69:51 After the fight scene, there is an alternative course for a while. In the original version an additional scene with the baddies. Howard arrives in a back alley and is led in. So Fai Lung wakes up and leaves the room of his playmate (Lena) to talk to Howard. After both have sat down, Lena joins in and there is a lot more dialogue, but is getting rid of - Howard wants to talk business or make a peace pact between the two gangs. So Fai is rather not interested, but has also heard of Tan's martial arts (because he was present in the Celestial cut during the previous fight) and wants to recruit him for the Dragon Gang.
At Celestial-Master So Fai Lung talks to his people instead and concludes that he needs Tan's help to take control of Chinatown.
Original version 263 sec (= 4:23 min) longer 52:16 / 70:22-71:20 Chu Ho still talks to the tiger boss here and when Tan's name falls he notices that it was also him who beat him up in Hong Kong. He clenches his fist furiously. 55.8 sec
Alternative / Additional material in Celestial master 53:01-53:13 / 72:18-72:21 Very similar take by Tan, whereby he only comments briefly on the original version. no time difference
Alternative / Additional material in Celestial Master 54:18-54:31 / 73:34-73:45 A different take in the entertainment of Tan and Evonne. Original version 2 sec longer Shortly thereafter also without time difference an alternative take from the other perspective. 55:09 / 74:26-74:50 The tiger boss gives another comment and there is some further dialogue with So Fai Lung. 23 sec
Alternative / Additional material in Celestial master 56:52-57:58 / 76:40-78:28 Tan and So Fai Lung enter a different room and with it all the rest of their conversation is kept alternative. In the original version the former feels somewhat uncomfortable. This is intensified by Lena, who is dressing herself in the next room and who then comes along and ensnares So Fai Lung along the conversation. In Celestial-Master the two of them talk without Lena in the room. original version 37.3 sec longer
Partial recut 57:58 or 64:21-66:41 / 78:28-85:47 After this conversation a longer fight scene with Tan follows in the original version, which was only inserted again later (in shortened form) in the Celestial. Only the exclusive passages were described in the colour-coded box, which was characteristic of the cut around. Initially 420.9 sec (= 7:01 min) The Celestial starts later with the 1-second scene where Tan and So Fai Lung appear at the door. Before that, 74:22-74:34 is missing from how So Fai's gang arrives outside and the conversation between Chu Ho and the tiger boss inside.
64:22 / 78:41-79:25 After the door is kicked in, a lot of fighting is missing. 42 sec
Alternative / Additional material in Celestial Master 64:36-64:49 / 79:40-79:54 How Tan holds Chu Ho under control and then beats him up for a while, can be seen in irrelevant alternative take... no time difference 64:49 / 79:54-80:19 ...and immediately afterwards, further bloody fighting scenes towards the end are completely cancelled. 23.4 sec

66:39 / 82:45-82:50 Chu Ho collapses longer, recut to Tan and again Chu Ho from above. 4.1 sec
The whole rest of the scene from 82:52-85:47 is exclusively in the original version: Tan is brought up and ensnared by So Fai Lung. There is a phone call and the gang members congratulate So Fai Lung who gives the girl Sin Wa as a gift to Tan.
