I guess I have to wait 60 days. I'm eager to see this. I'm confused, did he make multiple versions? I really wanted to see the version with the HK original music. Is it only a version that mixes and matches the Miramax music? Or is everything after the plane opening the original?

One version that incorporates the HK version with the exclusive scenes from the Miramax cut.
One version that's his preferred edit.

The FW reconstructed version with original sync-sound is very much the movie that I remember watching from a copied VHS back in the day. The original voices of the actors, as bad/goofy as they are, are all part of the appeal.
I know it's been said before, but WB really need to give this movie the restoration it deserves

I'm really look forward to seeing this, is it still work in progress. I have a Hong Kong video release by Speedy Video which I bought from an advert in Combat Magazine back when I was at school in 1996 which was before it's western release. And I have a VCD release aswell. I think it's the same cut but the subtitles are in the black area as its widescreen I think on the VHS I have you can barely read the subtitles as they are within the image.
Apart from some deleted scenes or changed scenes I think what bothered me most was the soundtrack. Where the original had electric guitar rock music during the fight scenes Miramax had more orchestral music.
Not sure if the original HK cut will ever get a Blu Ray release.
