The Pageant Lower is reported to have a runtime of round 136 minutes (approx. 2h 16m).

For instance, some accounts point out the “urine drinking” scene (throughout a POW-camp sequence), which seems solely within the Pageant Lower. The movie has a couple of ending. One ending is a car-chase shootout finale (supposedly Woo’s initially supposed ending); one other is a boardroom confrontation ending (reportedly added to fulfill runtime/distributor calls for). The Pageant Lower is claimed to incorporate the “car chase” ending.

After a successful art heist followed by a pledge to make it the last crime ever for the trio, the plot revolves around the theft of a mysterious ‘cursed’ painting and how its obsession affects the family. Directed by John Woo, and starring Cherie Chung, Chow Yun-Fat, and Leslie Cheung.”
