As for what exactly will be added to the extended version? He revealed, "The version currently in release is more than 120 minutes long. I originally shot more than 160 minutes, ideally it will be 20 minutes longer. I will add back in the cameo role of Kaki Sham, and one or two scenes with Wai Sze Nga that I think are good."
