Guest Markgway Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 The only cut to the UK video version was to remove an ear-clap. I think the old tape was passed before they started removing butterfly knives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted July 13, 2009 Member Share Posted July 13, 2009 I actually have an old school full screen Cantonese language VHS of the film (my dad's a fan of the film, and he bought it at a local Chinese video shop years ago), and aside from Chinese language opening and ending credits, I don't think there's any difference.

Member Chinatown Kid Posted July 14, 2009 Member Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just in case you didn't know, Jackie's HK version of The Protector actually has a longer fight scene between him and Bill Wallace than the US version shows. I think Chan added these scenes later after the US film had rapped, but the HK version fight is much better. It also has a short scene where Wallace fights Lee Hoi Sang and and added scenes with Sally Yeh (or is it Yip?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted July 14, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yeah, Jackie re-edited the film for the HK release. It's well known that Jackie was very unhappy with Glickenhaus' direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Sally Yeh (or is it Yip?). Both are correct -- but she uses Yeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
