Eureka refers to PS2 as being in its '
full 2 hr version' which misleads viewers into thinking that full = uncut and that until now we've been missing something.
Not an easy edit job, but it's doable if Eureka follow this guide.

(and have a copy of the HKL at hand for visual reference)
"1. min. In the recapitulation of the first part, the two versions differ:
The HK version shows Jackie rolling over the ground, 2 guys try to beat him. He jumps on a car in which another one crashes. Jackie jumps at a man who then flies through the wind shield. Then the scene in the police station: Jackie is about to be handcuffed, he pushes the cop away, grabs a gun and takes uncle Bill hostage. The LD shows him getting a cake smashed into his face and the scene in which he pulls his girlfriend off of a autocycle. There is as good as no time difference, both version durate about 10 sec."
All of this footage can be taken from PS1.
"8. min. After the meeting with his arch enemy, Jackie continues with his duty. He puts on his sun glasses. Afterwards, the yard of the the police HQ can be seen. Jackie comes driving in on his motorcycle and talks to a colleague and his uncle.
This is replacedby the talk between the gangsters in the car in the HK version. 60 sec."
An alternate source would be required for this scene (probably SD).
"21. min. Shortly after the the former sequence, this can only be seen in the HK version:
A shot of the policemen rebuking people. Some people flee. 5 sec."
Alt. SD source. As above.
"57. min. In the interrogation room, the whole thing with the three girls takes longer. One scene is noteworthy: The interrogated is saying something.
The HK version shows Jackie, whereas the speaker can be seen on the LD.53 sec."
Alt. SD source.
"59. min. After the camera zoomed in on the speaker, the LD shows the conrol room and the policemen preparing things for the shadowing.
Alternatively in the HK version: The officers get out of a delivery truck. 15 sec."
Alt. SD source.
"59. min. The shadowed person goes down the stairs longer. He gets into a taxi. An officer calls another taxi and follows him.
The HK version only features music from now on, in the Japanese version the other sound effect can be heard as well.80 sec."
Original mono soundtrack required.
"60. min. The shadowed waits until the doors of the subway close and then gets in in the last second.
Alternatively on the HK DVD: Short shot of Jackie in the HQ. 25 sec."
Alt. SD source.
"60. min. The subway stops, the people get in and out, as does the gangster. The officer follows him.
Alternatively on the HK DVD: In the HQ: Jackie looks at a map (this scene is included later in the Japanese version). 27 sec."
Re-edit only.
"60. min. The guy being followed goes down the stairs longer. He takes a taxi again an is being followed by an officer. The taxi stops and the policewoman drives on, telling the HQ via radio. (The map scene is inserted here.)
Alternatively on the HK DVD: A short shot of Jackie in the HQ. Two cuts = 49 sec."
Alt. SD source.
"103. min.
The outtakes during the ending credits are somewhat different and in another oder. The music is different as well."
Alt. SD source and original soundtrack.
All the other changes can be solved by simple cutting and (more tricky) re syncing of audio from original cut.

I don't mind having a longer version, it would just be nice to have both versions available. Apparently Eureka are including "Police Force" (the US version of Police Story) in the set, so I don't see why they don't have the 2nd film in its HK version too 
Oh well. Guess that I can still get that Japanese release of PS1 if need be.
