Chunking was recommended to me by a friend of mine whose opinion I value, so I tried it again - and I believe I got it. There is something very personal and intimate about this film that I missed the first time I saw it. The Hong Kong cut was released on VHS/laserdisc by World Video and on VHS/LD/DVD by Mei Ah. The international cut is Wong's preferred version and has been used for most home video releases. The international version strips out the music (leaving only ambient noise), although "Dreams" still appears at the end of the film. In the Hong Kong version, the Faye Wong cover of "Dreams" plays over the shot of 663 drinking coffee.The sequence with Zhiwu loitering outside his girlfriend's window appears earlier in the international edit.The international version includes the kidnapping of an Indian girl, which does not occur in the Hong Kong version.Indian music plays during the smugglers' arrival at the airport in international prints in the Hong Kong version, the title theme plays.The international version expands the scenes where The Blonde prepares for the smuggling trip and later searches for the smugglers.'Kar Wai Wong' made several changes to the international version, bringing the running time to 102 minutes: The original Hong Kong release ran 98 minutes.
