Notes:*This mix has the music from the international version combined with Cantonese dialogue and effects.
**Essentially the Japanese cut of the film, although there are some minor differences between the master used here and for the version on the Japanese Blu-ray (which comes from a 35mm print with Japanese side-titles).
The Hong Kong theatrical cut is a new 2K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative.
The international export cut was restored especially for the 40th anniversary of the film, commissioned by Golden Harvest for audiences outside Asia and contained a hybrid of the classic English dub and an alternate soundtrack featuring the song 'Kung Fu Fighting Man' performed in English by Jackie Chan.
Extras are in 1080p unless noted.
Comes with a reversible sleeve with alternative Hong Kong poster artwork.
The limited edition comes in a rigid slipcase with brand-new artwork from R.P. "Kung Fu Bob" O'Brien, a double-sided foldout poster, 6 replica lobby cards, and an 80-page perfect-bound book featuring 3 new essays and selected archive materials:
- "Jackie Chan - The Early Years: From Stuntman to Superstar" by William Blaik (Fighting Spirit Film Festival)
- "The History of Martial Arts on Video" by Tim Murray
