Days Of Being Wild, Years Of Being Obscure

Remember that article by film theorist and historian David Bordwell about 'Days Of Being Wild' from nearly ten years ago? It was called "Years of being obscure". Check it out, it's worth reading. There he talked about an obscure cut of that movie which was presumably shown to audiences during its Hong Kong run in 1990. Apparently, it's nearly identical from the cut we all know from DVDs and BluRays, except for the fact that there's a new prologue and the ending contains some alternative material. I have never seen the prologue, but I've just come across a video on YouTube that contains the ending with all the alterations that Bordwell describes in his article! It's been on YouTube for two years and I hadn't seen it before. Amazing what you will sometimes on the internet just by chance. Watch it below:

Let's hope that the obscure prologue will also turn up at some point.
