[calros]

Added.

[AV1979]

Cast addition:

Yip Ha-Lei...Stu (he's credited as Harry Yip)

[Michael Kistner]

My problem is that I searched Max Lee in the movie and NOT found him. And I can't remember seeing Yip Ha-Lei in the movie. I check again today.

Added Ng Kit-Keung to the cast.

[calros]

Maybe there are 2 cuts of this movie, because is a co-production.

[Michael Kistner]

I did not find Max Lee and Yip Ha-Lei in my German DVD (101 minutes like the British DVD).

Maybe there are 2 cuts of this movie, because is a co-production.

Possible. Or the scenes are cut out in all versions or the 2 actors listed in the credits are different actors.
Harry Yip is also credited in YEAR OF THE DRAGON.

According to several sites, the running time is 106 minutes.

The roles of "Dr. Pfeelgut" and "Stu" do not appear in your DVD?

I not watched all dialogues to check the role names, but did not see someone who is a doctor.

According to the imdb Harry Yip is also as Old General in YEAR OF THE DRAGON - I not have the movie at the moment.

In the internet you can find 106 minutes versions of AMERICAN SHAOLIN, but I did not see differences.

ANGLE ON TREVOR

As he plays with the next fighter.

TREVOR

They said you were good... ha!

He knocks the guy out with a picture perfect kick. There is no denying that he's a superior fighter.

TREVOR (CONT'D)

Can't you get me any quality sparring partners?

The next guy comes up, but before they can start, the psychologist, DR. PFEELGUT, calls for "Time" and motions Trevor over.

PFEELGUT

It's not enough just to win, Trevor. You have to destroy your opponent completely, mentally and physically. Beat him once, he's a threat. Humiliate him, and he'll fear you forever.

Trevor listens to this, nods his head once, and when Pfeelgut goes to leave, Trevor pushes him into the pool.

Pfeelgut comes to the surface, smiling.

PFEELGUT (CONT'D)

Exactly!

Trevor goes back to the ring. He really takes it to this guy, alternately playing with him and hurting him. As the guy tries to hold his own, the string to his pants comes loose and they start to fall down. He grabs for them with both hands, and Trevor starts to back up, laughing with the rest of the group.



ANGLE ON PFEELGUT

Toweling off, who is yelling to Trevor.

PFEELGUT (CONT'D)

GET HIM! NOW!!

Trevor looks at him for a moment, not really understanding, then sees what the psychologist is saying. He lunges immediately forward and (in SLOW MOTION) knocks the guy out while he is still trying to pull his pants up.



ANGLE ON CROWD AS THEY ENJOY THE SHOW IMMENSELY

Trevor has learned the lesson of the day, and he walks off.

[AV1979]

Here's a photo of Max Lee Chiu-Jun as Dr. Pfeelgut I grabbed off of YouTube.

[calros]

He only appears in the introduction of the movie.

[Michael Kistner]

I ignored the first scene because there is NO CHINESE ACTOR in that scene. The doctor you made a image is not Max Lee and is also no chinese! Maybe the role was recast.

[calros]

Removed.
