The Protector 2

The 80 minute version is the American release version, where they basically took out everything in the movie except the fight scenes. It just jumped from one fight scene to the next and made almost no sense. I recommend watching the International version, which is about 2 hours long and actually has the story in it. It may not be the greatest story ever, but it makes the movie more watchable. If you own it, the international version is on disc 2 I think.
I happened to be in Hong Kong when the first one came out. So all I knew was the original cut. Then I saw the US cut and realized that US producers (cough*Weinstein*) must think Americans are stupid. Here's a couple things right off the top of my head that they changed or completely omitted:
In the original cut, his uncle (it was his uncle, not his father) didn't die. The sole motivation for going to Australia was to get back the elephants, not for revenge for killing his uncle/dad. Oh, and that female villain--that's a transgendered dude.

Just got thru watching this. I was really disappointed. It was like a 1/5th of what Protector 1 was. The CGI and 3d ruin the movie. I thought the first was great because the martial arts scenes were believable in almost every scene. In this movie, very few of the scenes are believable. How many sky scrapers can you fall off of in one movie and live?
