DISC 2 –
International Export Cut [90 minutes]
Restored especially for the 40th Anniversary of the film, this version was commissioned by Golden Harvest for audiences outside Asia
Contains the Classic English Dub and an alternate soundtrack featuring the song ‘Kung Fu Fighting Man’ performed in English by Jackie Chan
Audio Commentary with HK cinema aficionados & game producers Audi Sorlie & Chris Ling
Extended Export Cut [99 minutes]
Released exclusively in Japan on 21st March 1981 by Toho-Towa, this version is broadly similar to the export cut. Although shorter than the Hong Kong cut, this composite cut features the uncut final fight and ending from said Hong Kong cut; alternate scenes, also included in the 90 minute export cut and the full-length export English Dub with alternate soundtrack
I recommend pre ordering this while you can as it will sell out very quickly.
