Comparison between the cut US DVD by Buena Vista/Dimension and the uncut Chinese DVD by Thakral.

There are three different versions of "The Legend of Drunken Master":
1. International version (e.g. DE DVD/UK DVD/HK DVD)
2. US version (e.g. US DVD/BluRay)
3. Uncut (e.g. China DVD/Hongkong Laserdisc)

About the different audio tracks/ dubbings:
The US DVD features the so-called "US Synchronisation".
The HK DVD contains the English audio but with the original music.
The Chinese DVD offers both original audio and score.

The US DVD has been cut by one scene.
1 cut = 37,8 seconds.

The US version is approx. 40 seconds longer than the international version and 37,8 seconds shorter than the original movie.
Because of the different logos and the extended ending credits the US DVD runs longer than the Chinese one.
