If I understand correctly the HKL version of Naked Killer is the director's extended cut?

Not sure if this helps Bruno.

Rewind @ www.dvdcompare.net - Naked Killer AKA Chiklo gouyeung (1992)

Thanks for the link.

Here's what I found while browsing the web...

From the now defunct Asian DVD Guide through Backyard Asia blog:
"Naked Killer
(Mei Ah) The original theatrical version was cut by the censors to remove bloody violence and profane dialogue, in spite of the Cat-III tag. This print was released on VCD and DVD by Mei Ah. Mega Star later issued the film in an extended director's cut that not only restored the censored dialogue (references to a severed penis originally "bleeped" out) and violence (When Carrie Ng crushes a man's head with bar-bells, blood spurts out; the killing of the rapist in the cellar is trimmed too) but included several new scenes such as one between Kitty and Sister Cindy (with pronounced lesbian overtones). The HKL DVD is the same dir's cut as per the Mega Star disc. On the Taiwanese VHS, the scene at the police station at the beginning of the film is longer. On the Japanese VHS, there is a 3-4 min scene where Carrie meets up with the Japanese that places the hit on a certain character in the film. It's a must for Carrie fans as she acts like a complete badass, pushing people around and not taking shit. Neither the complete police station scene nor Carrie's scene mentioned above are present on the Mega Star or HKL DVD. On the German tape Chingmy Yau plays an Undercover Cop and has a happy ending together with Simon Yam. The erstwhile deleted scene with Carrie is there also. It however removes all the lesbianism and the violence is trimmed as per the HK Cinema version. Runs 76m (@PAL speed)."

I was wondering if the HKL dvd of Heroes Shed No Tears is uncut?

[g053584398]

Heroes Shed No Tears wasn't cut by the BBFC when submitted to them, but other than that I couldn't say.
