Trivia
This movie takes a cinematic swipe at Jackie Chan, with whom director Wong Jing had worked previously on the City Hunter live-action film. After the release of City Hunter, Chan not only disowned the film, but attacked Wong personally in the press. Through the character of Frankie Lone, Wong insinuated that Chan was actually a boozing womanizer and a fraud who did not really do his own stunts after all.

Quotes
The Doctor: From now on, errors will be treated with zero tolerance. As an example, I point to the sloppy execution of last week's bank robbery, where one unsightly error nearly set off the alarm... You know what I'm referring to don't you... Li Chin?

Q
What are the differences between the British BBFC 18 DVD Version and the Australian Version?
A
Regarding violence, the British DVD is completely uncut. Furthermore, the British DVD features different opening credits. The difference starts with the scene in which Kit Li is screaming desperately. Here, the picture freezes in the British version; then, the English credits are faded-in in white writing on a red background. On the Australian VHS, the wreckage of the burning bus is shown again; then, Kit Li is dragged away by his colleagues. In the background, the narrator says "Explosives expert Kit Li loses his wife and son in an explosion. He quits the service. Two years later in Hong Kong"; the sentence is faded-in in Asian letters as well. Subsequently, one sees further shots of the burning bus. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
