I think, after Golden Harvest re-edited the film to remove violence and the missing scenes we know (that were only present in the initial Mandarin versions), this footage was part of the export version circa 1972, which became further edited for the (1973) US release, and again for the Cantonese one (in the 80s); the latter version of which is what Fortune Star base their restoration on. The only thing that's still edited for this version here, is the finale (it's weird that the US score begins for a split second to then suddenly play the GH one). However, yes, it does have more footage than some other versions.
SpaceHunterM I don't know if I've heard much about one from Greece, but I know of the one from South Africa. The latter print (seen on bootleg) did have chunks missing, though it's hard to know whether it was a matter of censorship, local editing or damage.
Which one do you mean? The third one which features Bruce standing naked in front of the girl as seen in the trailer? No, that one is not included in the original german print.
@@DuwangIsNotDreck I'm still not really sure what scene you are talking about. If you mean the one described in this article: bruceleelives.co.uk/missingboss.html (Chapter 11: Second Prostitute) then no, it was never present in a German print.

This is definitely true. The English export version print from Greece and the French theatrical version both also have the footage.

Kevin Chan, do you still have the raw capture of the UFA tape? I only have a terrible quality .avi of it.
Sorry for the late reply. Yes I do have a full capture of the UFA tape that looks like what you are seeing in this clip here.
Was the bordello scene available on any German prints at all (i.e theatrical, home video)?

@@kevinchan7180 Yes, the third one. Have seen it in it's full capacity in any form, German print or not?
