(at around 1h 29 mins) In the end fight, Lee fights Shingo. Lee throws several punches to Shingo's head. Shingo dodges them, but you still hear a punch impact sound. See more »Alternate Versions
The UK New Age video was cut by 1 min 34 secs and removed all footage of nunchakus as well as heavy cuts to a man's heart being torn out, shots of a man spitting blood with a slashed throat, Shadow biting Andreov's arm and spitting out the flesh, and heavy edits to Lee's face being beaten and his arm broken by Shingo. The cuts were fully waived for the 2002 DVD. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

I bought this one hoping for a fighting movie with Bolo Yeung as the main character. I was wrong about that. Bolo is more of a supporting character in the movie, and he only has one real fight. That was a disappointment to me, although the two main characters in the movie are OK. When it comes to the fight scenes, they're far from the best that I've seen. But, I've seen a lot worse too (try the totally ridiculous "Gladiator Cop", for example). The whole movie looks a bit cheap. The fight scenes are also very brutal, I guess they're the most brutal scenes I've seen I a martial arts movie. I have no problem with that, but I didn't really see the point in it. If you're not a hardcore action/martial arts-fan, you won't find any entertainment in this movie.
