Discrepancy US version expands the scenes where The Blonde prepares for the smuggling trip and later searches for smugglers. It also includes a kidnapping of an Indian girl which does not appear in the Hong Kong version. Sequence with Qiwu loitering outside girlfriend's window occurs earlier in US print. Indian music plays during smugglers arrival at airport in US print, in Hong Kong version the title theme plays. Song 'Dreams' sung by Faye Wong is at a different place in US version. Both version sare cropped: The Ocean Shores vertically and the Rolling Thunder horizontally.
