Trivia

When filming wrapped up on time and the editing was proceeding at a fast pace, Warner Bros. considered opening the film in late August - a mere three months after it finished shooting. They later opted to release the pic in late Feb the following year.

The casting of Mark Dacascos was the result of a poll on Jet Li's website where fans were asked who they would like to see him fight next.

The film was originally developed as a remake of M (1931).

Goofs

The M1A1 offered for sale is reported to have reactive armour and a 90mm cannon. The M1A1 clearly hasn't got the reactive armour skirts on it (Reactive armour are a series of raised explosive plates added to the outside of the tank) and they have always come with a 105mm cannon on the M1, later models having a 120mm cannon, A 90mm cannon would have been impossible to come by having been phased out by the appearance of the M1A1.

In the car chase with Fait driving the blue sports car, he drives in reverse pushing a metal dumpster into the other car, breaking the taillights on his own car. Later, when Fait is leaving Archie's place, the lights are still there and working.

In the scene where Fait is riding through the alley on the quad and the guy riding the dirt bike (seen from the air) jumps over the truck, you can clearly see the ramp, and many more boxes. Right before this is shown you see a pile of 4 boxes high in a stair fashion going away from the truck, but right next to it, and in the jump scene they are also further away from the truck.
