- The Miramax US version features new English dubbing, music, and is cut by approximately 15 minutes from the original Hong Kong release. Missing scenes include, but not limited to the following:
- Tyson decides to call Barbara before he and Boomer leave for the mainland. Boomer remarks that Tyson doesn't have her number but this doesn't bother him as he produces a phone book.
- In the hospital scene, the henchmen bring in a "healer" to try and cure their boss. The healer only succeeds in creating chaos and fed up, the doctor (Lau-Kar Leung in a hilarious cameo) "thunder-punches" him into a wall.
- During the scene where John is showing Barbara how to play the piano, she has a dream sequence where she is singing a Cantopop song to a receptive audience.
- Rocky mistakes John for Boomer and begs him to take him on as his student. Trying to get rid of him, John tells Rocky to go "buy a piano" to "stengthen his fingers".
- The original international/export English version is similar to the Hong Kong one, except for dialogue.
- The Japanese version includes footage not present in Hong Kong or international versions, in which Boomer and John talk more to each other in the apartment; this occurs before Barbara rings the doorbell. It ends with a narrator over highlights from 'Police Story' and its sequel, but also clips from the then-upcoming release of the third film (one of which was deleted from the final film - Ka Kui removing his bike helmet), implying that it's coming soon.
- SPOILERS: The Taiwanese version includes some additional footage: -Crazy Keung talking to the guard in the convoy. -Boomer and John talking longer in the apartment. -Boomer and John shaking hands after overcoming the gangsters. -More shots of Boomer outside the wedding. -Tarzan and another guest becoming elated that the wedding will be cancelled.
- Mandarin-language versions feature Jackie Chan singing 'My Feeling' during the end credits.
