Trivia:

The police station was actually shot on the fifth floor of West Island School in Hong Kong. The meeting room is actually the study room of the upper school area, and it also doubles as the infirmary. Other scenes take place right outside of that room. In fact you can see the blue lockers in the background.

Goofs:

Continuity: In a meeting early in the movie, the discussion is interrupted by Chan's belated entrance. As Chan takes his seat, we see computer screens behind him. Between shots, these screens change three times though everyone in the room is seated at the table and the people nearest the computers are facing away from the keyboards.

Quotes:

Akatora: History belongs to the winner and I will win.

really good flick

this movie is really well produced, it has superb action sequences, and the actors all are excellent in their roles. This movie has comedy, not the comedy of jackie chans movies thank god, i personally dont like the action on chans movies, i prefer movies like this one. It is a bit more serious, and not as exaggerated as jackie chan movie, it has a balance, and it is no ridicule. i think is the action movie of the year. Unfortunately, here in mexico this movies have no good distribution, not even on video, I hope sometime soon this kind of oriental movies are distributed as they deserve.
