Did you know
ā¢ The alternative ending found as a special feature on most Western DVD releases was created for release in China, where the authorities were uncomfortable with the political implications of the original ending.
ā¢ When Yan and SP Wong are waiting at the elevator, the digital floor counter skips the 4th floor. In China and Hong Kong, the number 4 is considered bad luck because it sounds similar to the word 'death'.
ā¢ It was Hong Kong's biggest box office grosser of 2002 ahead of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) and Spider-Man (2002).
