I only know of four versions.

1. Hong Kong theatrical cut. (TC)
2. Alternate Asian cut. (AA)
3. Export cut. (EC)
4. Miramax Cut (MC)

Differences between TC and AA:

Basically, AA has a longer version of the rugby match, a longer version of Jackie's poetry recital, longer conversation between Chan Wai-Man and Whang In-Sik, longer version of the shuttlecock game, a new scene with the matchmaker, and some other bits and pieces...

Whilst TC has a fight between Chan Wai-Man and Whang's men, a comedy encounter between Jackie, his friends and local girls, and the cannon scene at the end.

I prefer TC because none of AA's extended scenes needed to be extended, and were already a touch sluggish to begin with. The pacing in the TC is much better. AA's rugby climax is an anti-climax whereas TC's comedy bit is a funnier way to cap the mayhem.

The only scene from the AA I would like to see restored is the extended conversion between Whang-In-Sik and Chan Wai-Man, if only to avoid that obvious jump cut.

Here are the differences between the TC and MC:

The EC is a shorter version of the TC.
