[edit] International
The film had many versions of the story. The real plot is the Chinese one. Dubbed prints exist as Zu Time Warrior, which include scenes set in the 20th Century. There is a brief reference to this in the dialogie of the climax in the original version. Tsui has said that Zu Time Warrior represents his true intentions on the film, but also expressed that he thought the film was too old for people to care about anymore, which is why he remade it and would not record an audio commentary for the original.
[edit] Box office
The film grossed HK $15,872,222 at the Hong Kong box office.
