Trivia

Actor Jet Li complained that this was his most tiring role to date because he had to hold back every punch against his opponents (mostly women with no martial art background) while they went all out on him.

In an interview with the entire cast of the movie, Jet Li mentioned that he got tricked into accepting the role. The producer supposedly convinced him that he didn't have to fight a lot, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Quotes

Xu Xian: Can meet with you, I don't what good luck had struck me. Just because of your single kiss I believe that the wheels of fate had turned. Just because of that moment, the moment was filled with sweet and happiness. From now on, every minute and every moment, I will protect you always and let you happy for life.

White Snake: Before I saw you I meditated for a thousand years, but those thousand years are worth less than a moment with you.

What are the differences between the Asian Version and the International Version?

There are two different official versions of the movie, which is quite usual for such productions: the Asian Version with a runtime of about 102 minutes (NTSC) and the International Version, produced for the western market and about 8 minutes shorter. In the latter, almost the whole subplot with Xu Xian's wish of getting to know Susu's parents and proposing to her was removed, and also removed as a consequence of that was a quite funny scene in which the two sisters try to simulate a good home respectively family life with the help of their animal-demon friends, temporarily transformed to human form, and the following quarrel between the monk Fahai & his fellow monks and Qingqing ("Green Snake"). A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
