That geisha in Fist of Fury was quite the eye-opener - she even turned Wei Ping-Ao straight!

I'd have preferred a Nora/Maria sandwich. :D

That third Ching Wu girl wasn't too bad either.

God, what are we like?

And I finally saw the Cantonese version - which is cut by 37mins!

What a mess - Lo Wei missing altogether, Nora and Chen Sing's intro scenes and much else gone, but they kept the stupid "Jackie's mum is a comfort woman" subplot! On the plus side, they got ride of the stupid party speech altogether. And some new(ish) electronic music is dotted throughout the movie, sticking out like a sore thumb, which actually date this version to at least 1982, as Frankie Chan inserted a Tangerine Dream cue from their Logos Live album of the same year!
