After a few identical shots at the club, the versions differ entirely until the moment Lui gets home and finds Wan Chu angry.

Theatrical Version

John Shum comes through the door but they are at another bar with several Americans in it.
They draw for who gets to question the American and who gets to question the ladyboy. In the restroom, "Michelle" is being questioned about the dead agent by a colleague and after getting the information, the two of them leave.

Director's Cut

Another scene leads to Wan Chu getting her brain picked critically by the boys.

In the Theatrical Version, Ah Lung and his mother are in a parking garage. At his car, he finds an animal cadaver by his car, intestines on his hood and the note to watch out for pedestrians. This is Wan Chu's way of telling him she knows about the hit and run.

In the Director's Cut, Paul walks by a the police at a crime scene and one of the cops refers to him as "bomb kid". He gets startled but the cop explains they are about to defuse a bomb and he should get out of his way because of that. He sceptically checks out what kind of bomb he was talking about and in fact, it does look like a bomb he build.

After Wan Chu convinced the boys, the DC shows more footage at the station, followed by a bomb defusing incident.

Cops get sent out in order to defuse the bomb and someone mentions three boys had been seen planting the bomb. The Superintendent takes over and when luring out and questioning three other perps (not our main characters), the bomb turns out to be fake.
Meanwhile, Lui is nearby and he suddenly sees someone he knows running away. Lui follows and confronts him but he has mercy lets the guy walk.

The conversation the three boys are having on top of the school building has been completely redubbed.

The following is identical, the dialog is different though.

In the Theatrical Version, it is also mentioned that Nigel will come to Hong Kong and right after that that his visit regards a huge business dead.
In the DC, the merc says there was no other business that dangerous because after all, they were selling weapons.

The Theatrical Version goes deeper into the mercenary/intelligence story here: John Shum goes back to the bar and asks for "Michelle". She is supposed to be in the restroom with another merc, so they go there. I the restroom, the homosexual merc gets shot and when John Shum and his co-worker enter, the killer has already vanished. In one of the stalls, they find "Michelle" dead.

Before the woman flirts with Lui, the shot of him is much longer (worse master in the DC again) plus the following shot of the woman begins earlier. The reason for that is most likely the woman in the off because she explain her daughter was actually doing well enough so that she did not have to make a living as prostitute.

Following this, a simple extension. Lui gets homw and talks to Wan Chu who is on her way out.
He wants to know what she had in the bag and says he had heard she had gotten fired two weeks before. Finally, he snatches the bag and it turns out to be empty. She sarcastically says he might as well accompany her to the bus and responds to his question about her job by telling him she was going to set off a bomb. He yells at her while she is leaving, then he enters the apartment.

The attack in the car is longer. The beginning of the scene (taken from the worse master again) is identical in the DC. After that, a pen is being asked for (really harmless, probably just cut for pace reasons).
