Viewing Notes

So I decided to view this again this morning since it was still playing on the Hi-Yah! TV channel. My interest was due to seeing the BTS footage in the end credits that had scenes that I didn’t recall and in the trailer that I added to the TMDb listing for the movie. There’s an entire rooftop fight sequence shown in the trailer and in the BTS footage that was removed from the final cut of the movie. I’m not sure why bc the runtime for the final cut was 70 minutes so it was a weird decision. There’s other stuff that was cut out but that seems to be the biggest change.

As it stands this final cut is sorely lacking as I noted in my previous notes. This story really need more setup and now I wonder if there is a longer cut that was released in China since the version Hi-Yah! has is the Well Go USA release. I’d love to see that.
