There are two main versions of the film: one lasts 106 minutes (Hong Kong) and the other 90 minutes (international). A Taiwanese version was also released, which contains scenes not found in the Hong Kong or international versions. However, even the Taiwanese version is not complete—the original cut of the film that Jackie Chan made for Golden Harvest lasted three hours. This version was edited, and 70 minutes of the film were removed during the first assembly. This version has not survived to the present day.
