I grew up with the US Cut and Paul Gilreath score, so a fleshed out version of that was my intention. I used my original cut as a base and reworked the whole thing from start to finish. I fixed the things I wasn't happy with in the original fan edit and then added and tweaked a lot more.

In my youth 'No Retreat, No Surrender' was one of my favourite movies. I was very much looking forward to the DVD release back in 2004 but was very disappointed with what I saw. Although the picture was an improvement over my old VHS copy, there were so many differences that it felt like a completely different movie.

The movie with multiple versions just got another one.
