Lead actor and action director Donnie Yen said that a seven-minute fight scene took ten days to shoot.
For a car chase scene, actor Julian Cheung loaned his black Lamborghini to the production.
Originally produced at a budget of HK$100 million, the production soared up to HK$200 million due to its slow paced filming and to cover the film crew's insurance. Because the Hong Kong government did not approve the film to shoot at the Tsing Ma Bridge, an addition of HK$50 million was spent in order to build an imitation set of the Tsing Ma Bridge.
Remake of the 1989 classic starring Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah and Maggie Cheung and directed by Clarence Fok.
