The Big Boss - Saw in the Head Scene

In 1971, the Chinese martial arts film, "The Big Boss" was released and made the famous martial artist, Bruce Lee an international star. He would go on to create more films such as: "Fist of Fury", "Way of the Dragon", "Enter the Dragon", and Lee's unfinished project, "Game of Death". These films were all influential big hits. However, "The Big Boss" is notable for it's deleted scenes. Since it's release, the film was heavily cut and altered. There were about 14 or more scenes that were cut out. Some of these scenes were cut out due to production or runtimes or for whatever reason. And some of these scenes were cut out due to it's violence and due to censorship. As of now, the original uncut version of "The Big Boss" has not been released yet and people have been and still are searching for the uncut version, mainly because of one infamous scene that was cut out, the "Saw in the Head" scene.
The saw in the head scene takes place during a fight scene where it consists of Bruce Lee's character picking up a saw from the ground, swing it overhead, and slams it onto a bad guy's head. People have been searching for this particular scene. The only viewable evidence are photo stills taken during the shooting of this scene and the obvious cut of the scene in the film. There are confirmed rumors that a journalist who wrote a book about Bruce Lee claims to have the original uncut print of the film. However, he stated that he will not show to the public and that it's worth a lot of money. But the real reason why he won't show it to anyone else is because of what he saw, no pun intended, while watching the film and this infamous scene.
In a private interview, the journalist stated that he witnessed something so creepy and unexpected that it almost scared him to death. This is what he saw. The film plays out in it's original form with the original Mandarin soundtrack and the deleted scenes left intact. The quality of the film is bad due to it's age and the dusts and particles that were collected on the film roll but it is still viewable. Now here's where things start to get strange. After the scene where Bruce Lee's friends are attacked by the bad guys at their home, Bruce goes to the ice factory where he works at in order to see what are stored in the blocks of ice. He enters the dark room with a flashlight and finds an ice pick. After carving out small chunks of ice, he finds bags of cocaine and heroin that were stashed by the bad guys. He then walks slowly and flashes the light towards a few more blocks of ice. He discovers dead bodies of his friends that were previously killed.
The last body he finds was cut from the film but is seen in this version. Once we get a shot of the last dead body, the music starts to drop in a low pitch for few seconds and the picture becomes badly distorted. Then the scene cuts to a group of bad guys confronting Bruce. The picture and sound are back to normal. After Bruce and the Boss's son talk, the fight scene begins. After a few minutes of fighting, the bad guys slowly walk towards Bruce as he backs up against the wall. Bruce steps on the saw and once everything stops, he picks it up. After he kicks two guys away, we see him swing the saw overhead in the next shot. But somethings not right, the image is black and white. But the sound seems fine. And then we see the uncut shot of Bruce slamming the saw in the guy's head.
The image isn't black and white anymore but this time it's now inverted into negative colors. The sound still seems fine. The footage shown seems to be crudely put together. Then we cut to another shot of Bruce letting go of the saw and the bad guy shaking and screaming as he falls down with the saw still in his head. The image turns back to black and white again. And as the bad guy screams, the sound is louder than usual. Then we cut to Bruce roundhouse kicking a guy's bowstaff and breaking it in half. The picture and sound are back to normal again. Then we see Bruce kick the guy into the wall. And then the movie stops right there and we are left with a white screen. After a few minutes, we are still left with a white screen but then we here two strange voices. It sounds like they're speaking to each other in Chinese. And they are translated onto English subtitles that are printed on the bottom of the screen. This is also strange because the rest of the film did not have subtitles.
The subtitles are translate to this:
Director - "Should we leave this in?"
Editor - "I don't know, I don't think it's up to us."
Director - "What do you mean? I don't care if they censor this!"
Editor - "Alright, let's see what we can do from here."
Director - "Wait, what are you doing?"
Editor - "I'm trying to put this scene-"
(The sound and subtitles cuts off and music starts playing for five seconds. The music stops and we hear the voices again. This time we hear a third voice.)
Unknown - "What's going on?"
Director - "I don't know he's screwing things up!"
Editor - "I'm not! Something's wrong with this machine!"
Director - "Stop you idiot!"
Unknown - "Calm down!"
(We hear some pounding noises. The noise starts to become warbled. Then the sound stops again and we are left with no sound for a few minutes.)
Then the unknown third voice says "Is this meant to be uncut for future viewers?" Then the sound comes back but this time it's a very loud and distorted static noise. The footage is back to normal but this time it's random clips of the movie being played together. The sound goes back to it's normal stated but then it starts playing fast and in reverse. The song that was played in the main titles is heard and is louder than the messed up audio that's playing in the background. We see then see distorted images of dead bodies, bones, and rusty saws. The sound changes into a guy screaming. Which sounds exactly like the same guy who got the saw in his head. This sound keeps on repeating and the scream starts to become high pitched. This goes on for a few more seconds until everything stops. We are left with a black screen. After ten seconds, the film goes back to normal. We come back to the part where Bruce steps on the saw on the ground but as the scene goes on, the uncut footage of the saw in the guy's head is not seen this time. It looks like as if it was cut out. Then the rest movie plays out normal and the film ends.
So apparently this is why the journalist who claims he has full film will not show it to the public. Either that or he wants to keep the film for the amount of money it's worth, but that's not the case here.
