There is one thing that I would like to say about the Pan Media version it is NOT the uncut version, there are a few scenes that are cut out. One is where Lo Mong's characters is stabbed--it's cut just about a second or two but it's cut. Also there is a scene where Tien Sheng Lung is fighting in an open area and he stabs a woman they don't show her breast which is shown in the South Gate version. I'm maybe a perv but mine is not cut out.

Most companies have the TV print not the uncut one. If you really want to see the uncut version you will need to get the Celestial Chinese language one or if you're lucky like me and you have the South Gate VHS copy which came out about 13 years ago.

CLARIFICATION OF EDITED SCENES:
When Lung Tien Hsiang travels to fight against the fire element he is ambused by ninjas dressed in red costumes and he is stabbed by a female and then he stabs her and they show her breast through her fish netted outfit plus when he is stabbed it is cut.

The next scene is when Lo Mang is in the room with Sen-Chi the female ninja spy just when the compound is invaded she hits him with a dart he rushes at her and she stabs him with a knife that is hidden in some flowers well in the Pan Media version we don't see her take the knife and turn it in Lo Mang's stomach also his body falls to the right of the camera in the Pan version once she stabs him we see her putting the knife back in the case.

So if you have the South Gate version check it with Pan Media and also the one put out by Ground Zero or whoever the company is that has the three characters supported by Wang Li. Pan Media and Ground Zero are the television studio cuts.

A lot of the Shaw stuff that wasn't put out by South Gate back then were TV versions but without the edited for TV info on it. "Spearmen of Death" aka "Flag of Iron" is the same and "Kid with the Golden Arm" as well. "Flag of Iron" the opening scene when Kwok Choi and Chiang Sheng Are in the restaurant that is all cut up.
