  • Unlike other John Woo films, the action sequences in the film (choreographed by Lau Chi-ho) feature little of the stylised "gun fu" that the director is known for[8]
  • The alternate ending, featuring a car chase choreographed by stunt coordinator Bruce Law Lai-yin, was filmed in Woo's distinctive style to appease the film distributors, who were worried that the film lacked the director's signature touches[8]
