I've seen the movie.

From what I've read Jackie Chan hated being apart of this movie, he only did it as a favour.

As for the movie itself its nothing special, Jackie & Sammo are only in it for limited time. The Billiard scene is quite cool though ...

DVD wise its about as good as any other release, I think, however, it might be the shorter version of 93 mins, not 125.

Isn't that the same as the HKL version :? This has the deleted footage as an extra though.

The Taiwanese DVD is the original director's cut. Most versions are heavily cut.

I quite like this film - it's pretty cool

From what I've heard, the HK edit seen on the HKL DVD has a short segment of Jackie Chan making funny faces at his girl that isn't in the Taiwanese DVD but I don't know if the Taiwan DVD is randomly cut

No, they just added a little more Jackie to sell the film in HK and Worldwide.
