The second, more destructive challenge is the problem of regional recutting. In the 1970s and 80s, a film released in Hong Kong was rarely the same film released in the Philippines, Thailand, or the United States. Consider the infamous New Fist of Fury (1976). A verified index must note that the original Hong Kong version differs dramatically from the Taiwanese version, which differs again from the US re-edit titled To Kill with Intrigue (which itself is a different film). Furthermore, studios would often splice unused Chan footage from one film into a completely different movie, such as The Dragon Fist (1979), to capitalize on his rising fame. An index that ignores these variants is not solid; it is a lie. Therefore, a verified index must include “version control,” documenting runtime, language, alternate titles (e.g., Shi di chu ma vs. The Young Master ), and notable differences in action sequences or narrative.
