 		Japanese movie poster <br> (The Japanese version of THE 18 BRONZEMEN was done in 1982 or 1983, due to the success of Mainland's SHAOLIN TEMPLE. The Japanese wanted more of such movies, so Joseph Kuo adapted a little bit to the Japanese market adding especially more scenes with the little kid. He had enough stuff from his first Bronzemen movies around 1976 that he hadn't used back then. Also he added stuff from his later movies and his actors around 1980. So the outcome for the Chinese market was a hybrid and re-cut version and not the original 18 BRONZEMEN version from 1976. As it seems, just the credits were filmed anew. – Unfortunately, the Hong Kong DVD release was already that Japanese version! The former VHS version released by Video Village was the original cut, as well as the VHS versions in other countries by the time. A slighty cut version in widescreen had been released in Germany, also on DVD, using the German VHS master. Still the best version, considering that all Kuo movie released by Hong Kong's Mei Ah were matted on the upper part of the frame!)

 		A deleted scene from THE 18 BRONZEMEN <br>with Tien Peng also confronting the fighting robots Carter Wong confronts. Tien Peng's backward flip surely was done by Cliff Lok!
