Did You Know?

-In multiple interviews, Jet Li stated he was not happy with this film or its production. He had no confidence in director Philip G. Atwell and even halfway through production, Jet Li knew this film would get bad ratings and not make much

-The silver car Jet Li drives is a Spyker C8 Spyder. This car costs around $287,000

-In the scene where Rogue meets the Ti brothers, Rogue speaks in Mandarin while the Ti brothers speak in Cantonese. The dialects might sound similar, but they are not. For those fluent in either dialect, they will easily recognize the sounds of Cantonese and Mandarin. Not only that, but if someone is only fluent in Cantonese, they will not understand Mandarin and it's the same in reverse-someone fluent in Cantonese will not understand Mandarin

-The motorcycle Jet Li rides in the scene where he baits the Triads is a Hellcat motorcycle made by the Confederate Motor Company

-In the Sayu Teahouse, when Takada is injured and Crawford comes in, Takada (Kenneth Choi) says "In Japan, you'd be dead!" This closely mirrors the line Jet Li says as Wah Sing Ku in Lethal Weapon 4. In that scene, where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover go to meet Uncle Benny at the Chinese restaurant, Jet Li says "In Hong Kong, you'd be dead."
