Notes:*Labeled "Original Opening & Closing Credits" these are actually the original export English credits in fullscreen. The credits on the disc's export version are the Hong Kong version credits since the cut was reconstructed using the 2K master.
The classic English dub was created for the export cut. The version on the Hong Kong version is a hybrid which uses the modern dub for bits not included in the export cut.
The Hong Kong version's end credits freeze just as the helicpoter picking up the survivors appears in frame while the original export version freeze-framed just before it (the helicopter is in view on the disc's reconstructed export version). The vocals for the end title theme appear on the Cantonese and modern English dub track but not the classic one which features an instrumental version.
The first print run of 2,000 copies comes with a limited edition O-card slipcase and a 35-page booklet featuring new writing on all three films:
- The Iron-Fisted Monk Cast & Crew
- The Magnificent Butcher Cast & Crew
- Eastern Condors Cast & Crew
- "Holy Disorders" by James Oliver
- "Old Masters, Young Turks" by James Oliver
- "Missing in Action" by James Oliver

CUTS:
- Blu-ray A Hong Kong- CMS Media - No cuts (97:52)
-
Blu-ray B Three Films With Sammo Hung United Kingdom- Eureka - No cuts - includes the Hong Kong version (98:24) and the export version (94:43), both with Fortune Star and Golden Harvest logos.
Previous UK releases were cut by the BBFC for a scene of animal violence which has been restored here. Statement from the BBFC: "Previous film and home entertainment versions of the film were subject to cuts on animal cruelty grounds in regard to a scene in which a snake's head is apparently pulled off. This version was submitted with the scene restored, along with an explanation from the film-maker that although part of the scene was filmed with a live snake, it was a dead reptile from which the head was torn. The onscreen evidence accords with these assurances and consequently this version of the work was passed uncut."
