In the US Version, the title pops up on purple background. The German VHS Version shows the German title (selfmade in an incredibly cheap way) plus the credits at the end of the opening are in Italian. Since the German credits are obviously incomplete, screenshots have only been taken from the US DVD and the longer original opening of the Korean VOD Version.
German VHS Version 13.4 sec longer
01:43 / 01:53-01:54 The baddies make a few steps forward. 1.1 sec 02:40-02:41 / 02:50 Jump cut in the German VHS Version when the guy is rolling on the ground. + 0.7 sec 03:31 / 03:38-03:40 Jump-cut in the German VHS Version when the guy is rolling on the ground. 2.3 sec 04:25 / 04:32-07:03 The baddies walk away longer. The introduction of the old quak Billy is currently working for follows. It is about some kind of magic pills the old guy keeps pitching. At the end of his introduction, he makes a pitch for Billy Chan and his martial arts skills. Sort of wasted, Billy stumbles out of his tent and people in the crowd are discussing that he used to be skilled fighter before he started drinking. Billy then attempts to tread down some pieces of wood but he misses and keeps lying on the ground. The old guy starts yelling at him. 151.6 sec (= 2:32 min)
06:18 / 08:53-08:55 The baldhead is going down a little longer plus the camera zooms in on his two buds a little sooner. 2.7 sec 12:31 / 14:57-16:14 When Billy remembers the time he spent with Yan Suk while walking across the street, there is a flashback which shows to two of them playing in water. Then Billy on the street again and also in a barn: He wonders if he should have done something different back then. This part is also in the US Version but later. Last but not least, there is some footage of Yan Suk yelling at her brother. 77.2 sec (= 1:17 min)
12:53 / 16:35-16:57 Yan Suk's keeps complaining until Billy shows up with flowers. The German VHS Version contains a jump-cut here because (in the Korean VOD Version) Billy actually tosses the flowers on the ground and the scene of the two of them digging starts earlier as well. At that point, the Korean VOD Version also lacks some footage. This means that every single version is incomplete here - the US DVD lacks more footage than the other ones. 21.3 sec
13:21 / 17:23-17:29 Additional shot of them facing each other and making a few steps forward. 6.2 sec
13:37 / 17:45-17:49 Another missing shot in the US Version. 3.7 sec
14:25 / 18:36-18:39 The fight starts a little earlier. Please note: Here, the Korean VOD Version lacks way more footage. To be more specific, the subsequent 20 seconds are missing here but they are in the US Version. 2.6 sec
15:11 / 19:24-19:35 At first a block, then some chasing and a first shot of the fight (that shows Billy). 10.8 sec
15:13 / 19:37-19:40 The fight continues on higher ground. 3.2 sec
18:11-18:15 / 22:33-22:36 Interesting: Before Billy has another flashback, there is a grindhouse style alteration before little Billy gets his butt kicked. Said shot also lacks the first few frames. US Version 1.1 sec longer
19:44-19:50 / 24:00-24:14 Same goes for the end of the flashback: In the US Version, the screen is blue for a little while. In the German VHS Version (& the Korean VOD Version), the regular shot of little Billy is longer instead. His mentor then drives him back - he just sits there contemplatively. German VHS Version 7.7 sec longer
Alternate / Recut 22:44-23:10 / 27:03-30:09 In the German VHS Version, Yan Suk is crying outside because her brother died. She also bitches that there was no reason whatsoever to kill him in the first place. Billy just watches her and hides behind a tree when she takes a look outside. Yan Suk then runs outside and calls Billy's name. She wants to know who killed her brother. Billy walks away silently and mumbles that he actually knew who did it. All of a sudden, the three baddies show up and after a long discussion, theyy start kicking Billy's butt but the flute player intervenes.
The US DVD here shows two previous scenes (please see 12:31 / 14:57-16:14) of Bily. When the girl (Yu He) grabs Billy's shoulder, the versions are back in sync.
German VHS Version 161.1 sec (= 2:41 min) longer 23:20 / 30:19-30:47 The flute player talks to the baddies who then rather chicken out instead of participating in the fight again. This alteration makes it quite obvious that the US Version tries to hide the presence of the three baddies. 28 sec
