anyone else prefer the American version of the fights?

I haven't seen this film in its entirety, either in its HK or American edit, but from what I've seen of the fight scenes themselves, am I alone in saying that I prefer the American version?

It felt unique and different to everything else Jackie Chan has done, almost like a stripped down, gritty version of Chan's trademark acrobatics and martial arts. Sure, it's slower and less energized than the Hong Kong version, but that's what I like about it. It feels like it could almost be a real fight. For all of Jackie's attempts to be dramatic and serious over the years, he has almost always stuck to his trademark fast punching, high kicking, prop using, bodies flying style of screen fighting. Even in films such as New Police Story and Crime Story, Jackie's style has remained consistent over the years. It wasn't till recently in films such as Police Story 2013 and The Foreigner where he started adapting to a more gritty, down-and-dirty style of fighting.

Like I said, I haven't seen this film in its entirety but from everything I've heard, going for this approach in the American version seems to make sense, as Jackie is essentially trying to be a Clint Eastwood/Charles Bronson type character in this film. It's more fitting than what we get in Crime Story for instance, where Jackie still finds himself using every prop around him as a weapon (the part where he pulls the gun out of the hot pot in that film is straight up classic Jackie Chan humor, but it's played completely straight which is just bizarre).

For me, the fights in the American version was a refreshing change of pace from what he normally does. That isn't to say I don't like the HK version or Jackie's style in general, I just think it's cool to see him fight in a different way for once.

Who's with me?
