Born to Defense (1988)

FAQ

Born to Defense

FAQ



    For its US release by Miramax / Dimension Films, Jet Li's early work, which is the only movie he also directed by the way, footage was cut and the credits were replaced with more modern ones. Contrary to many other Miramax / Dimension Films releases, this shortened version is still watchable though. The missing plot and comedy scenes are acceptable for most people I guess - the three "urinating on other people" scenes are supposed to belong to the latter category as well.
