Did you know

• Universal was afraid that John Woo's limited English would be a problem on set, so they hired Sam Raimi to oversee the entire shoot and replace Woo if need be.

• During the first test screening of the film, John Woo turned to a producer and noted they never did such previews in Hong Kong. The producer asked him how he knew if people liked the movie or not, and Woo responded "Oh, if they didn't like it, they set the theatre on fire and slashed the seats."

• John Woo's original cut of the film ran nearly two hours and focused more on Fouchon. Jean-Claude Van Damme and his editor locked themselves in an editing room for two days and reedited the film for the producers. Van Damme stated that moviegoers were paying to see a Van Damme movie, not a Lance Henriksen movie.
