-Collector and Special cut-

I recently bought several films, two of which were A Man Called Hero with the special cut and Chinese Super Ninjas which was the "Limited Edition Collector's Release". I was wondering if anybody knew what these cuts really meant. Like the special cut in MAN CALLED HERO, is it shorter than the regular release (judging by the often-referred to word "uncut")? And does anyone know how different are the Collector's Releases of Chinese Super Ninjas and Magnificent Wanderers from the uncut versions?<br><br>Any input is highly appreciated!<br><br>
