Additional material in the US version
24:25-26:35 / 32:12

After R.J. and Jason have walked out of the dojo, you only see them arriving at home in the US version. Jason notices a strange car and thinks that his mother has an annoying girlfriend visiting. Therefore, R.J. is supposed to come along so that he could avoid a conversation. Inside, they run into the mother's arms and Kelly is waiting in the next room - who Jason already knows from the past in this version and immediately falls into her arms. They kiss each other and a montage with scenes in the city follows: Among other things, they take a trip to the Space Needle and Kelly looks at rabbits with enthusiasm. Of course, this is a good introduction to Jason's birthday present in the original version.

+ 130,1 sec (= 2:10 min)

The original version starts earlier at the party with a few shots of the festively decorated garden. Kelly gets a present and Dean Ramsay thinks that he will win her over today. Then Jason dresses up at home in front of a Bruce Lee poster and R.J. picks him up.
