Trivia

All three of the main stars, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung, all were seen in Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. (Jackie plays a guard who gets beaten by Bruce in the underground hideout, Sammo plays Bruce's opponent in the opening of the film, and Yuen plays a tournament fighter).

Sammo Hung had surprised Keith Vitali by telling him his character was going to be knocked out by a vase full of water near the end of the film. When Keith was hit by the vase, he was knocked in and out of consciousness - though still manages to creep a smile onto his face as the whole crew were apparently laughing. Keith jokingly refers to this scene being composed as revenge for Keith's earlier mishap, by kicking director Sammo Hung in the head.
