Trivia
The only scenes involving wire work were when Jet Li had to jump up to kick the pool ball and when Cyril Raffaelli (Twin 1) performs his one-and-a-quarter backwards somersault-kick.

The turtle that Richard keeps in his drawer was the pet of one of the crew members.

Cyril Raffaelli knows how to perform the one-and-a-quarter backwards somersault-kick he does in the final fight scene without the aid of wires. There were at least two takes without the wire, but supposedly Cyril was moving too fast for the camera. Wires were added in for "clarity".

Goofs
(at around 9 mins) Insp. Richard's men have just rushed into the hotel room. As the men line up behind Insp. Richard, it's obvious that not only do the "twins" look nothing alike, but the twin on the right is at least six inches taller than the twin on the left.
Share this
In the beginning when Liu Jian attempts to escape the French and breaks the door open after going down one level, he closes the glass door into the balcony. But when Richard and his men go into that room the balcony door is open.
Share this
The apple on the laptop is upside down because that's how they were designed at the time; the apple would then be right side up when the computer is closed. If you look at the computer you see that it is in fact open and the latch is at the top where it should be.

Q
Is it true that the French DVD features a slightly different version of the movie?
A
Technically there are two versions available of this movie. First of all there is the well-known R-rated version of Kiss of the Dragon that has been distributed worldwide. Therefore it can be called "international version". Nevertheless the French-DVD features a bloody headshoot, that can only be found on this DVD. Now, one can argue whether the "international version" is censored or not but in the meantime a detailed comparison between both versions can be found here.
