Notes:The Fortune Star SD upscale is the source for both versions.
The mono tracks are not downmixes.
The German track for the Hong Kong cut is complete because the scenes that were cut from the German theatrical version were inserted into another film Against Rascals with Kung Fu, and the audio from the German version of that film has been used to patch up the soundtrack. -
