OVERALL: Draw
- The 88 Films Deluxe Collector's Editions feature Atmos soundtracks and have additional extras over the previous (UK-only) 88 Films Limited Edition, as well as including the 4K-restored Hong Kong version and reconstructed Japanese and export cuts using the 4K master.
- The German release has some exclusive extras.
Note that the Japanese release has the Hong Kong version and the Japanese version, but both are incorrect 25fps to 24fps transfers and the Japanese version is in standard definition.
Versions:
- Hong Kong version (94 mins)
- International version (94 mins) which includes two additional scenes, but is also missing content in turn.
- The Japanese version (98 mins) contains footage from both English and Hong Kong versions, but the end credits are different (outtakes instead of people coming and going).
Accounts of the differences between the Hong Kong and export versions can be found HERE and the differences between the export and Japanese versions HERE.
