Did You Know?
-The scene where Jeff beats up Jennie's would-be attackers in the alley was tough for Chow Yun-fat, who does not like violence. Chow also got hurt, when filming the church shootout. A piece of plaster cut his face, narrowly missing his eye by an inch. During the part where Jeff and Li talk, you can see the cut on Chow's face

-The film did not do good in Hong Kong because it was said that it had strange references to the Tianenmen Square massacre
-The statue in the police station (shown before Li's interrogation by his bosses after the tram shootout) is of General Kwan, a brave soldier from years ago
