Carry on Wise Guy - uncut length?

How long does the full uncut Cantonese version last (@ 24fps)?

I have 102m in my notes but online sources claim 97m.

I don't remember where I got 102m from.... so it might be bogus info.

Also how much (and what exactly) is cut from The Warrior from Shaolin (English dub version of COWG)?

Thanks.

There is a fan project that matches the widescreen picture from the Japanese dvd (1:36:16 - 96:16) with the audio from the Tai Seng. When the audio reverts to Cantonese, you can tell which scenes were cut from the Tai Seng. The Tai Seng runs about 84 minutes and is fullscreen. I don't know if the Japanese DVD is a fully uncut print of the film, though.

Right, so assuming the Japanese print is fully uncut (and they usually are) 96m is the uncut run time. Where the hell did I get 102m from??

I guess this means the Ocean Shores dub released in the UK was uncut:

...and the reissue a PAL edition

Hong Kong Film Archive (I hope that link works) lists it at 102 minutes.

On a side note: I know there is a boot print of Carry On Wise Guy in the Gordon Liu Four Film Collection. I didn't check the time, but I will if you are interested. I guess we will not discuss the commentary on the Tai Seng Warrior from Shaolin release :).

Ah, that's obviously where I got the info from... lol

So anyone know of a version that's 102 mins or are the HKFA mistaken?

Sure, thanks.

I guess the 84m version must've only been released in the US and we in the UK got it 'uncut'.

The Videoasia release comes in at 94 minutes and 20 seconds (according to two different softwares).

That seems to be give or take the normal version.
